Remember when anything with a tape player and headphones was called a Walkman? The Apple iPod has reached such a level of success that people use the term iPod to refer to any portable mp3 player. There is a good reason for its success, however -- it is a great product. It's easy to use, works great and, like most Apple products, it's stylish. If you are in the market for an actual iPod, there are a few things to consider before choosing what model to buy and where to buy it.

Choose a model. This years model, or I should say, this generation of iPods comes in three different flavors.
- First, the iPod itself. This is the mothership, the queen bee. Gone are the monochrome screens of past generations and the choice of photo or video models -- this does everything. The 60 gig version will hold and playback 15,000 songs, 25,000 pictures or 150 hours of video. The 30 gig holds approximately half of those numbers. Of course this all depends on the size of files and how many of each you have on your iPod, but it's a good approximation of the iPod's capabilities. The 60 gig will run you about $399 and the 30 gig costs around $299, so you do have to think about how much space you need. Personally, I say the bigger, the better. If it's just $100 to double the size, consider doing it -- you may thank me 5 years from now when you are 40 gigs in with no end in sight to your frivolous downloading. But I digress.
- Your second option is the baby brother of iPod, the Nano. This is almost a miniature iPod without the video playback capability. It'll slip into a shirt pocket and not even make a bulge. It comes in three sizes: the 1 gig that holds 240 songs at $149, the 2 gig (500 songs) at $199, or the 4 gig (1000 songs) at $249. Once again the $100 difference shouldn't scare you for going bigger here, but the 2 gig is a pretty good value for casual music lovers who don't need to put every song they ever heard on an MP3 player.
