Now, I found the speaker system I like, but they told me that the 4G (and Touch) has a non-firewire connection and therefore it has some issues with charging while docked. That would be a deal-breaker for me. Can anyone confirm that this 4G has a different pin configuration even tho it has the same basic connector?? I'm anxious to buy, so if anyone has feedback on this please email me at captainscottcarter@charter.net Thanks.

First is the glare that the glass screen guard gets, especially because the glare itself is rather distorted. this makes it near impossible to see the screen in bright conditions without the backlight on. The second is how short the battery life is. it seems that the only way to get the thing to last the rated 24 hours that apple says it has is to turn off the backlight, turn power save mode on, leave the volume at about 1/4 and not use the menus at all.

It is a little awkward at first when you watch movies, but you get used to it very quickly. I really never liked the touch because the screen scratches way to easily, much like the iphone. The ipod classic is way too big for my taste, and I find it bulky! My nano is like my best friend. I have friends who can sing, but I would much rather have my ipod to do that for me. =] I really would recommend the nano if you want to store music, movies, and even photos. I haven't played any of the games but I guess you could use those too. All it takes is a little time to take getting used to. I never got the 3g because I never had the money. For my nano it took me 2 years to get money for it (im not old enough for a job so I got my money for mowing lawns) so I have been trying to keep it in the best condition I can. I ordered a really good case off this website, http://www.handhelditems.com/belkin-ipod-nano-generation-leather-folio-case-black-multilingual-p-19364.html. Anyways I guess if you have a 3g there really isn't any point in switching, unless you really aren't happy with it. I give it a 10/10. Hope this helped The 4g nano is actually a really good ipod.

If you only want a music and video (although watching video on the nano isn't the greatest experience because of the small display...), then go with the nano. If you want to be able to do all kinds of things, go with the Touch. Katarina:

I was thinking of buying these and have been looking online for reviews, just see if it really is worth buying. Is it? or should I just get the iTouch? I'm in hunt for capacity and the iPod classic is out of the question. I also don't find the iTouch long-lasting. I'm also in favor of the iPod Nano because of the variety of colors available. I have used an iTouch before well always, because my friend has one and I don't find it amusing and worth it but I don't know. When I read reviews about the iTouch, most of it, well all of it says that it ain't worth it because for $30 more you can get the iPhone with way more things to offer.

There's a big difference between the iPod classic and the nano. Do you prefer a smaller device? Do you need to carry more than 16GB of audio / video? Answering those questions will help you decide. :) Daniel:
