Question: Is it better to buy the 30 gb or the 60 gb?

The 30 GB iPod is physically slimmer--a nice feature. It has identical function as the 60 GB and it is cheaper. It comes down to deciding how much of your music you need with you at any time--30 GB is a lot (enough to listen 24 hours a day for about 3 weeks before repeating). If you prefer to have your entire collection with you always and can't live without that, then choose the 60. Otherwise the 30 GB makes more sense.

Honestly that 590 is usually 100.00 more than the 570. Not worth it due to only seeing 250GB of storage. You can get an external HD kit (pre built or do it yourself) and for 100.00 you'll see 1 to 1.5TB of storage.

depends on what you are going to be using it for work or home, I would start with at least 8 gb

If they'r enot going to jump straight to 150GB or more, why even bother? Solid-state memory has already exceeded 32GB and has MUCH better performance attributes, including durability, energy/battery life, and flexibility.I will hold out for either a 1TB version or 64GB flash disk (or 32GB Flash disk + CF card expansion capability). And forget it if they try to ram some proprietary codec down my throat!

both are good choices, they make up for with 4GB excellent times 4 4 4 2, if your motherboard supports 8GB, it would be better to take advantage to the fullest !!!

I usually get the 32 gig when I order a new device. I find with a 64 gig card, 32 to me is enough. I never use a lot of space. I play games and shop and do a bit of writing and use maybe 8-10 gigs on the entire device. I'm not waiting! Its not worth the extra$$$$$

Thanks for the info. I have decided on the 720 but am now confused on the memory card debate. I have read/heard conflicting opinions on sd vs sdhc. I'm thinking an sd 2gb should do everything I need without memory card error risks. Any thoughts as to upgrading beyond?

I would agree to go for the 4gig, but wait a while because sandisk offers frequent mail in rebates. Including the rebate, I saw this item for 115$, brand new on Buy.com. I was angry because I bought it a few days earlier for 125$. The price changes alot, so be patient and wait for a good deal.

depending on the wear level a 64 GB drive should last a basic install a decently long time. as long as you limit the write-wear that you stress on it, it will survive.

Yes get a bigger one for more storage. I recommend the larger one.I got a 16 gb and ran out of space quickly

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

Id say 60gb, 2 gb for operating system, 2gb for internal memory and information and the rest for use.

thanks. i download pretty frequently so 2GB is probably fine. i'm a bit of a novice, what is the fastest card? or how do i determine a "fast card"?

My son has the 64 GB and it worked perfectly. I am not sure about the 32 GB.

good evening, I will actually install a 32 gb and not think of any problem, now I have a 16 gb and goes just as well.

I returned my 30 GB, am currently getting the refund, and have already gone to Circuit City (which has already begun selling the new ones) and bought one.

All depends on what you plan to use it for. Usually more is better. I have the 16GB unit and that is fine for me. I will never use the 16GB. But if you plan to download a real lot then get the bigger one. There is an expansion slot on all.
