Which iPod is your ultimate favorite? I just lost my 5th Gen Nano yesterday and am DYING. I loved it. Seeing reviews for 6th Gen scare me. Never had any other iPod. How are the classics? Other models? I never used the camera or video on my Nano, but I loved it because it was easy to use and I thought it sounded great. Have read that Classic models don't sound as good? Is that true?

I have a 2nd generation Nano, a 3rd generation Nano Shuffle and now a 6th generation Nano. I mostly use them for exercise and the 3rd generation is absolutely the best of all. It's the easiest to use because the controls are on the headphones so you can change songs with a press of the button. Because it's so compact, I can clip it to my clothing so I barely realize I have it on. The 2nd generation with the trackwheel can be a pain to exercise with. I haven't used the 6th generation Nano enough to really comment yet.

iPod Touch 8GB 4th Generation is my favorite. But since you had a nano, maybe you might not like it since it has a touch screen,etc. I like it because watching videos on the retina display is AWESOME!!!!!! Plus music too. I don't really use it for much else besides Playing Music/Watching Videos/Pandora. I don't use apps, use the internet sparingly, etc. You should probably wait until September because a new nano will be coming out then.

The classic 160GB. Huge capacity, great screen, easy to use. Wish is was available in other colors, but that's my only complaint. It's also quite a bit cheaper than the largest touch model, which can't touch it for capacity.

The 6th Gen Nano has the advantage of being small and being able to clip it on my top. I am a dancer, and this works well for practicing in the aerobic's room at my club. Sound is excellent.Here is the rub for me. I like to switch out my play lists frequently and find that with the Nano 6 I must have a computer to synch my lists. I LOVE my 5th Gen Nano because of the "On-The-Go-Playlist" feature. I can tag songs easily and add them to my on-the-go. No need to connect to a computer to do this. I have erased and redone my On-the-go list several times now and for a dancer that is a huge plus. Also, the battery life is much better on my Gen 5.

For me, it's the old iPod shuffle. Tiny, solid, batteries seem to last forever.

The latest ipod touch. The size, weight, and screen are just fantastic not to mention the apps.

Unless you actually used the video playback features on your old Nano, you should definitely get this Nano. I love it, the design is sleak and I love being able to clip it on, and the touchscreen rocks. However, I have to say my fav iPod is the Classic. If the limited space bugged you on your old Nano, get the Classic.

The nano's are more reliable than the Classic versions. My old 60GB failed 3 times over the course of 4yrs while my 2nd gen Nano has never failed and I've had it for 3yrs.I have this 120GB Classic now though and it's been going strong for 6 months.

Well, it depends on what you are looking for. I have the 30GB iPod with video, and I love it. If you are looking for space go with the 30GB, but if you are looking for something extra sleek and portable, go with the Nano. I am relatively new to the iPod craze as well, so I know why you are going through the back and forth with this. Just decide if you want obscene amounts of space or sleek portability.

Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this. Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working. So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade. Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work. I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week). Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update. What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...

good for you - I was using shorthand, though, of course, to indicate that I feel too much like an old fogey to jump on the iPod bandwagon - and I'm still interested in some sort of portable Sirius or a competitor if anyone has any ideas.... Unless of course someone wants to hold my hand thru every step of the way of buying, loading, and using and iPod and its accessories... :)

Definitely the IPod 5th generation. It's faster, sharper, and overall better. Though if money is the issue, IPod 4th generation is still a great product! :-)

I really cant speak about the 770 as I have and have only tried the 790. It's an absolutely fantastic camera. I love the large display, honestly the view finder is something i've never used in this digital age. I like you, kept kicking around the idea of getting the 770 and just thought the view finder took away from the sleek look that the 790 has. As for the click wheel I've used mine often enough from late August till now and havent had any problems with it becoming too loose. If anything I think its a little to stiff. I'm not sure if your familure with the ipod touch wheel but its the same concept, you just need to apply slightly more pressure. As for image quality the 790 takes stunning photos. Feel free to take a look at the customer images section. The first two pictures of a wormy bug and bee are mine (I also have a few others there) I think the colors came out true if not better than real life. All I used for those pictures was the digital macro and the best steady hand I could muster. I'm not a great photographer and in the eyes of a great one i'm probably not even good; but this camera lets me fake it. I have a pictures of actual water lillies (also on here) and was told it looks like a painting. This camera just seems to do all the right things on its own, even without going manual. When I was comparing cameras I came across the same image remarks you have. In the end I decided to go with the 790 over the 770 and haven't looked back one bit. I previously had a sony cybershot dsc-p200 and the 790 is above and beyond. I'm a true Canon fan now and would recomend the 790 to anyone.

An iPod would be great if they lasted more than 18 mths (after your warranty conveniently expires). My second just died, and something about buying a device I know will die and can only be fixed for >/= to replacement cost leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Thus, I just bought the Ceative Zen V, my Creative Labs Rio may not be compatible with any computer but 8 years later its still running.

Depends on what you really want, yes if this is your first ipod I'd go for it, but since it is Hard drive based it will have skipping issues if your jogging or walking sometimes, otherwise if you sit at your desk and listen to it, it will be fine. Then again if you want something that will go anywhere and handle anything, go for the ipod nano, it does everything the classic does, but it's just smaller in size and storage, if you want a bigger screen that will handle anything also go for the ipod touch. When I say handle anything, I mean jogging running, being dropped, because they are flash based and wont skip.

The iPod Touch 4 is horrible. It is RAM starved, chugs like mad and is very prone to crashing on even simple internet browsing.If you're really into this device line, I'd strongly recommend upgrading. I am a little disheartened by the specs for the new price, but if it runs in the general ballpark of the iPhone 4S, which it's borrowing parts from, then it'll be a giant improvement for you

Dear Cindy, after looking at the listed models for compatible iPod's I can say that it does list iPod Classic as compatible, however it does not go into further specifics so I would presume that would include all models under "Classic". I am sorry I can not facilitate the link for you to further verify however I would suggest looking over the technical data sheet if you like and please let me know if I can help any further as well. Thank you and I hope this has helped

No, there will be no more updates to this Ipod. I saw it on wikipedia. This will be the last generation for this Ipod. Currently they are still going to continue to produce it but I don't know how much longer that will be.

I have/had a 4th generation nano and the same thing happened. I called for support and was told that the headphone socket needed to be replaced. I found detailed repair videos on youtube and everything else I needed EXCEPT the part. The part was discontinued and I've not been able to find it. However, it is my understanding that if you bring your ipod into an apple store that they can/will replace the part for something like $80.00

Yes keep your iPod Classic! It holds way more and so much easier to use!!! Mine broke, so sadly I had to replace it with the iPod Touch 64 GB. It doesn't hold nearly as much and has functions that I already have on my smartphone.

I just bought an 80 gb ipod here on amazon that's a 5.5 generation. i should have looked more, but i had it saved on my wish list from a few months ago and assumed it was still the newest one! I haven't recieved it yet, but it has already been mailed out and i can't change it. i paid 250 for it because i bought it from one of the sellers, but i am wondering if i should return it and have to wait longer for the new ipod, or if the differences between the 5.5 gen and the new one are too subtle to really make a difference... I don't know what to do and i'm really sad about it because this is my first ipod.

In my personal opinion this is the only true "iPhone Killer" I've ran across. Like the popularity of the iPod and iTouch, of course accessories are not as abundant as the Apple Products (only, due to pure marketing by Nokia). Please share your opinion regarding this subject.
