Video Ipod vs Nano

ScottyP431 · #1 10-20-2005, 02:00 AM

I purchased a 4 gig nano about 2 1/2 weeks ago, giving me like 11 days to return it to best buy. Im considering doing so in order to get the new video ipod and larger space as the 4 gigs filled up much faster than i thought. I did some google searches and found very few reviews of the video ipod so i was wondering if anyone had one and could comment/weigh in with an opinion of how they match up. Tech specs can be found here apple ipod specs
It seems the video ipod is much heavier but not that much larger than the nano.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Do you want a full-featured ipod or a small ipod? It's really your decision.

it's much heavier because it has a hard drive inside, rather than flash memory. if you've used a 4th gen ipod i can't imagine it being much different.

no windows media, but i'm sure your neighborhood hacker will fix that problem.

it's already been fixed. gizmodo had an article today, probably pushed to page 2 or 3 by now.
