    yepp

    the iphone costs more than the other ipods, but it has a shorter battery life and is more fragile.

    the LCD screen is huge and takes up most of the ipod, and LCDs are fragile. one drop on the floor and youd prob have to buy another ipod.

    plus, theres still reports of black spots on the screen, where certain parts of the screen will soon become unresponsive to touch. you wouldnt want that to happen would you, esp where the 'play' button would be.

    and finally, since it is an ipod, i should say this: apple is notorious for using planned obsolence on their ipods. yes, the ipod is cool and all, but apple already has plans in works to create a better thing by the end of the year or so to make more money, thereby planning on purposely making your ipod obsolete.

    personally i would not get one

    the least expensive is like what 8 gigs?

    that leaves you basically no space

    if you want movies on there that takes up about 1.5 gigs each

    you need to have wifi to use the internet

    and that takes up space also

    that would definitely limit your amount of music you put on

    also the lcd screen is on half of the whole thing

    they are incredibly fragile

    i would recommend the classic

    the lowest you pay is 250

    long battery length

    more storage

    what else do you need?
