My 13yr old son really wants an ipod nano for x-mas. I don't know too much about electronics. He really loves music has never really asked for game systems or large ticket items so I think he just may be able to have this for x-mas. however, I don't really know whats the best to go for, it a nano the best to get, easy to use, what would yal suggest?

Sell your palm tree first.

I'm not really a technophile, so I can't really help much.

Ipod is definatley the way to go. They support many formats and are leading the industry in MP3 players. They offer 3 different sizes of the Nano. The 2, 4, and 8 GB. They hold 500, 1000 or 2000 songs depending on the one you pick. They are compact and good for running or just to hold and listen to. Good choice.

[MsDrmr]

are they user friendly? I would go with the smaller one as he does not need more than 500 songs but thats still quite a bit.

My kid has had a couple of i-pods. This latest one has video and picture capability. You can also record movies on it or tv shows that you missed during the week and watch them later. I swear you will never see him without it. Your son will absolutely love it. The nano has less memory and capabilities, I would get at least the 30g i-pod. As for price, Costco is about the best you're going to find.

ipods are very user friendly. My son has been using his for a couple of years and 500 songs is not very much. My 12 year old has close to 1000 songs on his.

Yes, it very user friendly. When and if you get him his ipod, you get a program call itunes that you install on your computer. It's a program/website where you can download music for .99 cents per song or buy the whole CD at a discounted rate. You can also use itunes as a music Library. You can upload all of your CD's into itunes and then download them onto his ipod. The ipod nano seems to be the choice for kids.

Can you pick and choose the songs off a cd you own to add to an ipod or do you have to download the whole cd?

[NOTALENT]

Yup...really user friendly. You can uploat of CD's or download from Limewire, Demonoid etc...or you can buy the MP3 like stated above for .99 cents each. I would go with the higher GB this way you wont have to buy him another in the future... :p

Check these guys out. I bought two 2 gignano's for my grandsons a few months ago. Great price and delivery. Ive ordered from them before also. Better prices than local stores. Also could check out price grabber for the nano. You might want to consider the 4 or 8 gig for future memory.
