In 18 days time our 12 yr old becomes 13, and we keep mentioning an I-pod to her, but she fears it may be "out" shortly after she has it[msneek] Any expects know the inside track? If it is worth it too, we could then wait and get it for her in Orlando in October he we go!

Carol - no chance of it being 'out' any time soon, Yes they are well worth it, go for the 20gb not the mini, and Yes get it in the Apple store at Millenia Mall[msnwink]

As I've posted elsewhere I bought my Dad an I Pod shuffle and it is really nifty. Not the best value for money compared to a 20GB but still 18 hours of music in a product the size of a pack of chewing gum.
Even though my 20gb is small the shuffle is really easy to carry around.

Can anyone advise me please, I know nothing about this sort of thing. Would I be able to download radio programmes via the PC into my IPOD, or does it have to be music only???
Does ayone know of a good website that would explain how an IPOD works, what it can do etc??
thanks

You can indeed - it's called Podcasting and more and more radio programs are being made available in this way, including quite a few from big hitters like the BBC, ABC etc etc.
I listen to Podcasts all the time on my iPod (usually more techie ones) and really enjoy it.

Thanks for quick reply. I've had a look at the various Ipods but am confused by the variety and price difference. What sort of capacity do they have for podcasts i.e. how many 1 hour podcasts could I download to a 512 mb or 1 gb?
I want to do this so i can cach up with BBC radio progs whilst jetting to Florida, so if the IPod will only hold 1 hours worth then i won't bother.
Thanks again for your help.

I would go for the biggest ipod you can afford the 20gb or the 60gb as there are better value for money. I have the 20gb which I got from the Apple Store at the Millenia Mall last August and its fab![msnwink]

They iPod hold way, way more than 1 hour of data - to give you an idea, a 1 hour file is perhaps 30Mb of data - a 20Gb iPod could hold something like 1500 hours of data. Even a 1Gb iPod Shuffle could hold well over 300 hours of data.

I see a new iTunes phone is coming out next week. It combines the iPod with mobile technology provided by Motorola. Could be a winner.
