    Ok, 8 years ago, my family bought its first apple device EVER!!! (an ipod suffle)....but then in 2005 we bought A brand spanking new 30 gb 5th gen ipod video, and at the time, it was extremely snazzie! But, unfortunately both of those are long gone. The ipod shuffle...well i took that apart...but the video works...but it holds a charge for....maybe 3 minutes. So, my questiong is what should we get to replace that beloved video?

    -NO iphone...maybe an itouch.
    -we have 27 gbs of music, i would like to store all of it on one device (we have a 4gb fat nano and my ipod touch) but we dont have to...seeing as we only listen to like a partition of it....
    -Something reasonable. im not getting a 160 gb classic.
    -something that is fun and is easy to use while running.
    -NO shuffle

    My dad loved the video for its capacity and everything, but liked the nano for its actual size.

    so? An itouch? A nano? A classic?

    Spend the money on the touch. Can do so much more. Get him thy 8 gig 3g .
    And it only 50 bucks more than the nano.

    I've got a 32gb iPod Touch 3rd Gen. That's probably your best option. Great for listening to music, watching videos, playing games, and browsing the internet.

    Does he jog or work-out while he is listening to his iPod?

    Also, is he just looking to listen to music or do other things with it?

    I think he meant JK :)

    I agree, a 32GB 3rd gen. iTouch would be your best option.
