i need people who have bought the nano or possibly the video ipod to tell me the pro's and cons?well im stuck in the middle deciding whether i should get a nano or ipod video..i mean i dont need that much memory, or anything but i love the price and memory of the ipod video.. the only thing i do not like about the nano is that it has a small screen..but other than it looks good. but i dont think im going to get videos-but who knows i might, and i dont think i can even reach to what 7,500 songs you know?

when you buy a 10,000 dollar diamond necklace, do you except it to break easily?

If this refers to my post..

It's not that the nano breaks easily (Click to read an article about the destruction of an iPod nano), but rather that it scratches easily. This article proves that even by running over it with a car and dropping it didn't damage the player internally, but rather externally. The player still played. And iPod is meant for music, not for people to parade around with just for it's appeal. Sure it's nice because it's small, but it's meant to be used as a mp3 player, correct? A $10 grand diamond necklace, on the other hand, is just for appeal. The gold (or silver, or platinum) chain will start to get dirty after regular usage. Similar to a nano--it will get dirty and scratch after regular usage.

It only breaks if one attemps to break the nano, or that there was a defect within the system (which is in part, apple's fault, only affecting 1/10 of 1% of all nanos, which are replaceable due to warranty) itself. a 10,000 necklace would be carefully crafted, since it's worth so much.

Yes it is apple's fault for making it easily scratchable, but remember that by taking special care, it will be fine. There isn't a majority of defect with nanos. I'm just so sick of people complaining when they could've taken precautions.

I expect this would be the same with iPod video, since it's just as glossy.
