Hey, all you Applefreaks. Could one of you give me some information about the iPods? iKi's already helped me out, but I'm incredibly confused now with all these minis and shuffles and fleas and nanos. Gah.

This is what I want in an iPod:

-I don't want it to be ultra-small and light. I'd like to be able to feel a bit of weight in it, and be able to hold it in my hand.
-I'd like it in white, black, silver, or gold.
-I'd like a screen, just so it'll tell what I'm watching and how much time I have left. I don't particularly care whether or not it's in color.
-I don't need a lot of songs- at least 500 or so, I think.
-I'm not going to be buying a lot of accessories, but I think the more the better.
-$200 or less??
-The more stuff that comes with it, the more I want it. (i.e., earphones, obviously, maybe a little Apple sticker)

So. What iPod is right for me?

Anyone else is welcome to use this thread for the same purpose, I guess.

You're not alone. I don't have one. I want one, though.

I suggest a mini, Teff. It's not true that they don't sell them anymore due to the Nano ( ), they just don't advertise them. I have a mini, myself and it is truly great. You can now get the 4 Gig version for $199, which is a pretty reasonable price for a 1000 song capacity, don't you think?

Just my ramblings though.

Edit: I just did a search on the Apple store and I'm not sure if you can buy it directly from them, but check a local electronics retailer.

I like my psp and 2 GB memory stick. Movies, games, music, and the internet, and it's portable, all the reasons i don't leave my house, in a system that does, plus, it has speakers so you don't have to buy ear phones!

The Mini is definitely the iPod for you, and even though Apple has discontinued them there are plenty in stock at online stores all over, and with the introduction of the Nano the Minis are bound to plummet in price. If you really want a deal I recommend keeping an eye on eBay, because the Apple crazies are going to be selling off their gently-used Minis in droves in order to get themselves Nanos.
