Thinking about purchasing an ipod

hhhmmmm, seen the 80GB for 136 pounds and the 8GB for 109, not sure what to get?! :S

Is the screen the same size on the 80 and 8GB models? Edit half an inch different. What gen are the ipod and nano upto at the mo?

Can you use itunes with any ipod?

How long does it take to charge the ipod via usb, as I doubt I will be able to get a UK charger for it here in NZ.

The warrenty is worldwide, isnt it? There would'nt be any problems with my getting it from NZ and using it mostly in the UK?
 
I had the same thoughts mate, I didnt want an iPod on the basis I dont like iTunes, and I still dont, but ive learned to live with it. Mine jsut sync's everything I have on my drive, so I justm need to connect it up and hit sync, but I dont know how easy or fiddly it is to do a manual transfer.
 
Thanks again everyone. Think I will use itunes for the time being as ive not got access to my own PC for the time iam travelling and Iam hoping I can copy files form my archos to a pc then to my ipod via itunes.

I will give Anapod Explorer ago when I return back to the UK.

Someone posted this in another forum

The only thing you'll have to be aware of is that iPods are nototrious for not liking MP3's that are corrupted (even just a little bit). Other MP3 players will play the files no problem, but you might find that tracks that have not been ripped with iTunes are a hit-and-miss affair.
Unfortunately, I have had to re-rip lots of tracks to get them to play error-free on my iPod.
In saying that, once they are on and playing, the interface and the seamless integration with iTunes makes the iPod worthwhile.

Great for travel.

Make sure you get a multi-currency adaptor and AC charger if you're travelling with it, though.

Hmmmm, any off you guys had problems with your ipods playing .mp3's?

Also can the nano read notepad files on it?

Click to expand...

I'm probably being thick - but which model did you get!?

I think Contour make good ipod cases, for example the iSee or Agent 18...

But I think there's a thread around here somewhere...
