Thank you all very much for your responses. Should I just stick with apple products? Is downloading missed TV shows or a DVD very complicated, or worth it for that matter?
Please help me buy an iPod
Not for me, doesn't interest me at all. The wife wants an iPod for her weekly 1.5 hour commute. Her HP notebook w/ XP media center came loaded with iTunes software. She needs something easy to learn and operate with a fairly long battery life (she's always forgetting to charge her mobile phone). I was wondering if the new video gadgets would be too complicated for her to catch up on a missed TV show (Lost is big now). If not for the video, I don't think she would need that much storage. Not a lot of music, maybe some photos. As always, thanks in advance.
