Even if it's one of these:

Thats only 8GB the smallest iPod video is 30GB so can hold more photos & videos & songs - with 8GB you'd have to be taking things off all the time before putting something else on.

I've got the 30GB iPod video - came free when I upgraded my mobile phone.

I've got a couple of thousands songs on it, several long audio books and still got loads of gigs left on it for videos.

Sorry, I should have qualified this comment.

Doesn't it pose an issue with warranty cover?

Yes , I believe you are stuck with the in-house warrenty cover. Which one would have to read in detail the specifics before purchasing. And it is an iPod....

Arn't iPods made there anyway..what's the issue?

Or save about £30 from Amazon.

Ok, crap question.

I want to get an Ipod for the wife - needs to store about 1000 tracks + photo's and videos if possible.

what model / spec do I need.

also eBay seems to have millions - I don't want chinese crap so is the best place to buy via the Apple On-line store ?

Cheers

Quite a few big cos have discounts with Apple - employee purchase schemes etc - find a permy and ask if they get the discount if you're at a big co.

bare in mind you can only get video on the 30GB + models which are available in black/white only. If she wants something pink (not to sound patronising there) then she'll have to have a nano which is available in 2/4 gb. You can get 8gb but thats only available in black. unless she's spending time on the train or something when she'd actually use the facility of video i doubt it's the way forward. I personally have a nano, 4gb which i'm constantly updating music on and is ideal for the gym etc

Or book yourself on a weekend away to NY and get it while ur there, about half the price

yep, but it's 250$ in New York so there's not a hugh saving - and they don't ship oitside of the US...

Get it from the apple website. You can get it engraved as well for that personal touch. (and you won’t look like you bought it off the back of a van!)

You know what ever spec you will get she won’t use it to the full capacity. If you want video you won’t be able to use a Nano, an Ipod 30GB will be the smallest you can go for.

Why not surf around online. I see that purelygadgets will do a iPod 80GB for £210 - which ain't bad.

Its written on the Apple website approximately how many videos, song and photos that can hold. But It should hold up to 20,000 songs!

Does it have to be an iPod? iRiver and Zen (amongst others) do some pretty good competing products.

[Moose423956]

do they all have the ability to hold & display photos & videos ?

I don't think so. I think you have to make sure the iPod sotware is of a high enough version to be able to cater for vids. Try the apple web site for a more definitive answer.
