Or save about £30 from Amazon.

BTW, I believe PurelyGadgets imports his stuff from the far east.

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

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

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.

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....

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.
