btw.. i suck at handling electronic devices.. my n80.. repair 4 weeks and i still haven't got it back.. cos of keypad problem... sorry for the off topic post.. so is it true the nano is more durable than video? since one is using flash mem and one is using hard drive..

Not necessarily, it depends on how you use it. Even though nano is flash-based, it will (probably) spoil it when you drop it, just like it would on the ipod video.

1st, ask yourself some questions:
- How big is your music library?
- Is it value for money? (The video is more value for money then the nano)
- How big will your music library be in few years?
- NEED to watch video on the go?

Hope it helps

ok... first of all.. collection of my song is not even 1gb... probably only a few hundred mb.. haha.. but i was thinking, if i'm going to get an ipod.. i will have my way to fill it up with songs.. and i was thinking of getting a nano since its so slim and portable.. i think i've decided.. since i have a laptop. i might as well use that u watch a video... thanks for all the advice... =)

guys.. i think i made up my mind.. i will go with ipod 30gb.. hahaha i measured the size and folded a paper according to the size..
its not that big after all... thanks for all the comments.. any more feedback and greatly welcomed

Just go to the shop to test it out lol, need to fold? Hmm, since it's not even 1 gb might as well get the 4gb version. Colourful.

you dont hv to worry about dropping it or running with it that might affect the hardrive. the ipod video versions are fitted with toshiba HD which can witstand a huge shock like 500G while idle and 50G whn reading.. so u need not worry. and i think its got like 64mb for storing data so less power comsumption and lesser disc reading.
(rough figures.. i forgot exactly how many Gs but i know its unbelievable. check www.ilounge.com)

YOU ONLY WORRY ABOUT THE SCREEN!!! lol
