What's the difference

[skim]

Can someone please tell an ignoramus like me the difference between an IPod classic, an IPod nano and an IPod shuffle (apart from the price!!)?
Thanks

Size of the storage space. The shuffle was really small at one time 512Mb had no display and played your tracks randomly (as the name suggests).
The nano slightly bigger in storage size, 1-2 Gb with a display.
The ipod started at 20Gb then introduced a 30Gb and so on as drive sizes increased. Used to have a mono lcd disdlay with just showed audio tracks. Now have a full colour display with video capabilities.
The current range is here with full specs with a comparison chart at the bottom.

And the i-pod shuffle has a nifty little clip ;)
But i wouldnt get it as it has no screen.

Go for nano or classic, and Pug, my I-Pod Nano (2nd Generation) is a 4gb.

It really depends on how much you will use it or how much you are into your music. The more you pay, the better you get although the Nano really is a very good gadget at a low price.

If your into your music, but dont think you need to splash a fortune for high storage, go for the Nano. If you will need that extra space for more songs, big up the Classic.
