What's the difference between each of the ipods?

[schnapps]

Hi

Can anyone please tell me the difference between each of the ipods? I know there's a mini, nano and shuffle but there could be a hundred more for all I know. My 10 year old would like one for christmas and I haven't any idea which one to go for. Also, can anyone reccommend someonewhere to buy one from wihtout me getting ripped off please?

Thanks muchly

The amount of information (songs etc) they hold. The shuffle holds the least

Well you can different size memory IPods The mini is the smallest (can't remember the gb size), the nano is the one thats on the tv atm - it's very thin. Not sure about the shuffle though.

You can get them with colour screens as well.

My iPod Mini is a 4gb, you can get 6gb too. The shuffle has the smallest memory

The shuffle also doesn't do much, I gather you can't choose which music to listen to, you're just stuck with random (e.g. shuffle).

There's also the regular ipod, which is more expensive.

I think the best place to buy them is straight from Apple .
