It's only $379 for the 30gig video. Worth the extra few bucks if you don't mind a little bit bigger of a unit.

I got my nano at christmas, i love the lil thing...although id have to say the biggest complaints with it are:

1) the LCD screen is not covered by any sort of warranty; nor is it fixable... so don't drop it or push the screen hard...apple doesn't help you at all

2) you have to pay for customer service calls to the 800 number after your first free one.

2) the battery is lithium ion, so when it dies, thats it...

3) the front and back covers are such soft plastic/metal that they scratch SOOOOO easily. Mine has never been out of its skin, and its scratched a little bit already-- Get a silicon skin or buy an "I-Condom" screen protector/body protection sticker from ebay for 8 bucks.

But don't get me wrong...i love my ipod, i keep it in my sweater pocket all day to keep it from denting etc. i am a user of public transit so it makes the trip a lot nicer...they charge fairly quickly and have some neat little features like a screen lock and calendars and silly little games.

I quite like my ipod. My boyfriend broke his, but now he's upgrading to a video pod because its not so delicate. I'd say that if your the type who's not good with delicate little things, avoid the nano and get the bigger video pod.

just my 2 cents :)

Purchase the ectended warranty too if you get it from futureshop or the like. For and extra 40 bucks or so you get alot more peace of mind.

My only complaint is the scratching. They scratch easy... but hey a scratch isn't going to hurt anything and I could really care less. As long as I can see the songs and hear the music , then I'm good to go.

I dont' see how people are literally breaking these things... you've gotta be fairly careless if you are IMO.. they seem pretty darn tough.
