Ipod Q

The new ipod nano is fab if your budget can stretch to it.

The problem with the shuffle is the smaller memory and storage. Does he just want a few songs or thousands? The nano also has ability to watch podcasts and videos, where as the shuffle is just music.

Disclaimer; I'm no technical wizzkid, I sturggle with my iphone still.

Thanks KB3 I think that he mainly wants it to download songs and listen to them in the car if that helps.

I would go for a nano. If he wants to use it in the car he'll need an iTrip as well (or similar). If you want your budget to stretch a bit further you could get an older model.

I'm not sure you can connect a shuffle to any mains speakers. That might be worth checking. Silly question, but have you looked at the apple website? I found it very useful when looking into the different ipods on offer.

I've got a shuffle and LOVE it!! its great for in the car and especially when out jogging- i strap it to my arm and forget its there- its brilliant holds loads of songs too- i have about 3.5 hours worth on there at mo!

Definately recommend it!
