I was wondering your opinion on a gift my teen asked for, and IPod. A little back ground last year I gave one of our teens a shuffle Ipod and new nothing about them at the time. Now I believe she would of enjoyed the Nano better.
By the way it was a surprise, she didn't ask for one.

I'm leaning towards the Nano this year and be done with it. It is more expensive I know but I think it is a better product if I'm going to get one again.

Any Ipod lovers out there?

Thanks so much for your thoughts.

Both of my DDs got the Nano last year for Christmas. I can tell you it has been a much liked and much used gift.

Dd #2 recieved a ipod nano from Santa last year and she loves it. She goes running with it almost daily. This year Santa will bring her a ihome to park it in at night and to wake her up in the morning.

I have heard a lot of people complain about their Ipod nano. I guess there is a known issue with the screen, and the backup battery is not powerful enough. There have also been issues with the actual quality of sound when compared to a traditional 40GB Ipod.

Here are some links that explain some of the issues:

Just wanted to give you a heads up.
Hope this helps!
