Apple IPOD, ... Options

[xD_toooften]

i'm thining about either buying myself an ipod/ipodmini or asking for one from my parents.
from past experiences, which one would you all prefer? iPod or iPod mini...

if you care more about the music than the looks, an are willing to read a manual, get an iriver h320-

same price as ipod
color screen
4 more hours of batteries
FM radio
line in recording
internal microphone
line out (can function as a second headphone jack, great for sharing music!)
did i say color screen?
functions without the need to install itunes
plays ogg vorbis files (the shareware file extension)
same size as ipod, but a lot thicker.
picture viewer

it's better for more hard core audiophiles... but if you want to pay the same money to loose all the extras, just for looks and a bit of weight, then i guess that's the way to go...

`also, international version can act as a USB host, which means you download pictures directly to the h320 from most digital cameras. (don't have to look for a computer!)

and a few drawbacks=

-thicker than ipod
-heavier than ipod
-learning curve on operation- you actually have to read the manual, but after about 2 days you should know it.
