I'm buying a 20gb special from a friend he's upgrading because he wants more capacity. I won't just use it for music I'll stick some other things on too, photos etc. but I expect it will be more than enough for me.

The nano's look expensive to me too considering you only get 4gb, BUT they are about one quarter of the weight of the bigger versions and much much slimmer. If you just want something portable to carry around and don't mind a lump in yer pocket (albeit small) the 20gb+ versions look good value to me. I used to carry a portable CD player that played MP3's so it will be quite a jump down in size for me.

As for storing WAV's on an ipod I don't see the point, through earbuds I'd challenge most people to tell the difference between a WAV track and a 160 mp3 track all you do is reduce your capacity. A standard WAV would be about 30+ megabytes compared to the same track in MP3 format which might be about 4 megabytes.

But yer right about the price, Apple have the pricing of new ipods pretty much locked down wherever you look they are almost the same price.

Cheers
Mike
