1gb shuffle, 15hours - USD79 2GB Nano 1G, refurb - USD994GB ipod mini, refurb - USD992GB Nano 2G, 24hours - USD149 30GB 5g, 14hours, refurb - USD179 8gb Nano, 24 horus, new - USD24930gb Video, 14 Horus, new - USD249With this kind of prices and this many options, it's really not an easy task to choose and ipod. Initially i ordered a 1gb shuffle for me and my gf, now that i seriously think about it...the shuffle is really nice and compact...but 1gb seems like it's not gonna cut it. Also taking into account that my 4gb mini has been almost 2 years + old now, the battery life only last like 4 hours nowadays..and i usually only fill 2gb + of music into it...I decided to sell it off for cheap and get the 2gb nano instead.  24 hours playback time...even if i only get 70% of it...that still pwn my current ipod big time...wise decision? (still getting one shuffle, though) This post has been edited by AlamakLor: Sep 19 2006, 02:18 PM

(still getting one shuffle, though) I face the wxact situation as you. Still deciding going foe the new Shuffle, 2nd Gen Nano(2gb/4gb/8gb) or Video, since the price range is not that far apart. It's hard to decide....

it's CAD over here, I got a coupon for 15CAD off, then there's a 14% tax.
I was looking at the pricing again just now....and the interesting part is...
Price for: 8gb ipod nano = 30gb 5G ipod video
WOW....apple is bending the rules and defying the logic of product pricing...Steve Jobs' one heck of a fellow!

AlamakLor,
i would suggest u to go for more storage. for 24 hours of playback, you don't expect to hear the same song over and over again.
i would say 4GB at the minimum.

How come the IPOD 1gb shuffle, 15hours - USD79 but selling in M'sia is RM399? So much more expensive? Not USD79 x rm3.80 = RM300.20?
