Because you are using it for movies, you must get the 8gb model, the 4gb will fill up too fast. The 4 gb model is ok for a moderate sized music collection, most of those 30 or more gb players are usually mostly empty for most people, but not for movies. Since a 3g shuffle was just introduced, I would strongly recommend waiting for an update for the nano, im betting a 16 gb model is coming, frankly I'm surprised the current nanos don't come in a 16gb model, I think they are just trying to sell more ipod touches, which i cannot recommend unless you have a huge pile of cash to get rid of.

If it must be a nano because of price range or how you plan to use it (commuting, workouts, etc), it's a no-brainer: pay the extra $50 and get the 8GB.If you plan on using it at home and don't mind a larger hard disk player, you might want to consider the classic in 80 or 160 GB.If you can stretch your budget to pay top dollar, the 16GB ipod touch offers the best current player for movies using flash memory.

HI Anne, I got the 4g nano for Christmas. My first Ipod. It's pretty cool. Anyway i have fit 7 hours of video(movies), 1 hour of video podcasts and 130 songs all at once and still had 300mb free. I think for 50 bucks more it's well worth it to double the size. I made my own movies from my dvd's so i left off credits to save space. not sure if an itunes movie would take more space. Hope tha helps

I think you should get the bigger one if you want lotsa movies. I recently put on about 50 songs and it took up .1 GB, but movies take up lots. I have the 8GB also cuz I love the green!! But you are better off getting more GB and paying a little extra than having to buy a new one because of no space left.

"One of the posters claimed that this would cost 500+ dollars. I would think that the hard drive version could actually be cheaper."I think you should learn how to read. He means that if you want a 80GB+ device in the same size you will have to use flash and flash is expensive.

both are good choices, they make up for with 4GB excellent times 4 4 4 2, if your motherboard supports 8GB, it would be better to take advantage to the fullest !!!

i think it supports 16 gb but i am not sure i would just go with the 8 gb it is really enought to pretty much play anything, what do you think about doing with it ?

G For me a no-brainer, 64GB +500 GB. I bought my 64GB a month before they started offering the 500GB keyboard and asked if I could trade-up or buy just the HD keyboard. They don't offer either. If you want to store music, movies, some older games, etc. the 500 GB is absolutely the way to go.

I have 8GB on my curent (Gen 4) iPod. I have been wanting to upgrade to a video iPod for a while, but decided to wait hoping a new one would come out (similar to the iPhone). I am a little concerned about only having 16GB, but even more concerned about its shape. Is this iPod expected to fit into current iPod accessories? I have an iDock for my AV receiver, and I'd be bummed if this didn't fit. It came with several adaptors, but I don't think it has any that are for an iPod that thin.

I'm pretty sure it is only available in 30 gb :) Not that it's a bad thing at all. Considering a WMV movies seems to take up 200 mbs on average, you are looking at 50 movies for 10gbs (full movies). Based on those numbers and having 30 gb, you can store quite a lot.MS clearly aimed this at the 30gb Ipod though. That's probably where Ipod makes most of their Ipod video sales anyway, which is why MS targetted it.

Boris...I found your comments helpful. I got the 8GB Zen about a month ago. I really like it. My biggest qualm is the SD card. I find that the player freezes very often when I play from the SD card...especially when I play video. I've had no such issues when playing off the internal memory. I got a generic SD card brand. I noticed that the product page on the creative web site has a compatible list of memory cards... should i stick to them to minimize the 'freezing' incidents ? I am interested to know what brand you are using. thanks in advance.

I would go with the 64gb version you can use the extra space and the price difference is not that great. The 32GB version does provide a backup of the system restore on a micro SD card not on the system. Even with this I would still purchase the 64GB version.

I have the 32GB. I agree with Brian. The 32GB will hold 40 Hrs.of music and 8 hrs. of videos. I really like mine. It has front and back Camera. Does that help?

No diff. between the two. I have 80gB just cuz I have milions of cds and dvds. It just depends on you. 30GB is a lot though, but I chose 80Gb just in case.

iPod Touch 8GB 4th Generation is my favorite. But since you had a nano, maybe you might not like it since it has a touch screen,etc. I like it because watching videos on the retina display is AWESOME!!!!!! Plus music too. I don't really use it for much else besides Playing Music/Watching Videos/Pandora. I don't use apps, use the internet sparingly, etc. You should probably wait until September because a new nano will be coming out then.

Hello! Indeed it was a 32 gb ipod. In my case, I like to have lots of music, videos and even movies, so the 32 gb. are perfect and even at times I have fallen short because the content is much.

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

I am very happy with my 2GB Sansa. Just updated the firmware (very smooth application downloaded from Sandisk site).Sleek design, not as cool as Nano, but very close. Ubercool video which Nano doesn't have, which works surprisingly well.Bigger screen than Nano too. Micro SD slot a great plus. And it also works like a storage device, so you can take files with it, something Nano doesn't do.Go for the $129 (at time of writing) 4GB model.

In this day, considerably, no (seeing as terabyte is available). I imagine you're a music person who listens to a lot of music. If you are, then 32g should be fine for you. If you're someone like me who got a 16g just for my own compositions then you don't need a 32g. You can fit anywhere from 200-300 songs in 1g (depending on the length of the song), so essentially having a 32g would hold about 9,600 songs.Your call. I'd say go for it because you never know what new music you might discover. Plus, it's always better to have extra storage. I would've gotten it myself, but the price was a bit too much.

I have a 4gb sandisk in mine, it will slow down access times of pics and songs but thats to be expected. I have never seen an 8gb card.
