What's the best model of iPod to fit my needs?

Question

I'm going to buy an iPod for my new husband, but I'm not sure where to start. He'd only need it to use while mowing the lawn, exercising etc. Nothing heavy duty...songs only... what's a good suggestion?

Answer 1

I love the iPod shuffle.  Its about as big as a quarter with no screen.  its durable, cheap, and u can have 2 gigs worth.  just enough for the lawn and a good workout.  Plus it has a built in clip on the back so you can clip it on your belt or shirt!  awesome!

Answer 2

if he doesn't care about seeing the song's time, volume level, album artwork (if you have it) or getting to the songs quickly, then go with the iPod Shuffle.  That was my first iPod, and not entirely my favorite, but they come in quite a few colors, and are about $49 for 1GB, and $59 for 2GB.  

but, if he does care about all of the mentioned above, go with the iPod nano.  at $149 for the 4GB, and only the white color you can fit about 1,000 songs.  and, if you want to get a movie for a plane ride or something, you always have that option, but you'd probably have to take out some songs for that time while it was in there if the capacity was full or 2/3 or more full.  there's also an 8GB for $199, which is what i have now.  it holds double the songs - at 2,000.  there are six colors for this one - white, black, red*, pink, blue, and sea foam green.

all of these, on apple.com, can be engraved for free.  you also get free shipping!  if you need more questions answered, check out this link, at http://www.apple.com

Answer 3

ipod nano or ipod shuffle if it doesn't matter whether he can see the screen name or not then shuffle would be better because it is small and lighter it will only play songs though.

an ipod nano is bigger and can have movies and games etc aswell tho good luck :)

Answer 4
