If you wait a while, I wa reading they're bringing out a new ipod- it's supposed to be similar in size and design to the ipod mini but goes upto 30gb. Suppposed to be out in the 2nd week of august- even if it's not much good, it'll bring down the price of the existing ipods.
mini >> ebay. anywhere else theres gonna be at least a couple of weeks wait. ipod >> wait for the 4th gen for the extra battery time. (get the mini there prettier )
My brother got a mini-ipod from John Lewis at the weekend for £179. It's very smart! I got my ipod 20gig from ebay from the states - paid £180 + £25 shipping. Not bad except it keeps crashing all the time and I can't exactly send it back!
This might sound daft but My mam and dad are away to america next week. Would a one from over there work here??
you gotta be careful when you're unplugging it tho... the number of times i've electrocuted my fingers cos the adaptor has stayed in the socket an the charger hasn't is quite high!
keep meaning to sort it out but I never have the time, it's a Sony one, don't think I will ever need to use it.
