1gb shuffle, 15hours - USD79
2GB Nano 1G, refurb - USD99
4GB ipod mini, refurb - USD99
2GB Nano 2G, 24hours - USD149
30GB 5g, 14hours, refurb - USD179
8gb Nano, 24 horus, new - USD249
30gb Video, 14 Horus, new - USD249

With 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)

yup, new ipod nano is rated at 24 hours. one of the longest battery life player out there now. Was looking at Zen V...but only 15hours...

just bought a 2gb nano for RM585....ETA delivery on 27th....cancelled an order for shuffle.

and u know what, I just found out a good deal on the sansa C150, 2gb, for only RM426...15 hours battery with 1 AAA

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!

hmmm....i was doing some analysis earlier:

2gb = apprx 1800mb
1 song = apprx 3.6mb
total songs = 500
1 song apprx 4 mins
total hours = 2000 mins/33 hours

that's above the battery life already...The 4 gb is about 220+RM more than the 2gb...dun really have that much budget there.

in the end, cancelled the 2gb and ordered a 4gb silver nano instead... confuzan's words are too poisonous
