I'd get the Ipod.

If you want to be fun, get an inscription. I'd prefer if you got, "Everybody Wang Chung tonight"

It's really not about what's better.

What it's really about is what she will like better.

iPod

Ipod. Otherwise you seem like you're cheap and bought the knock off.
But yes, Wii would be good.

I guess i'm the only one that doesn't understand whats so great about iPods..... sigh

iPod...how about one of those sexy 8GB ones in black? though you can get a 30GB video in for the same price ($249).

If you're buying an mp3 player for someone else it better be an iPod.

Luckily i dont buy things for people that stuck up.

I talked my gf out of a 5g Ipod and she couldnt be happier w/ her Zen

There's a tendency among techie types to assume that the most popular option is the worst, and there's something better. I fell for that and bought an iRiver H10. It was the crappiest electronic device I've ever used, and stopped working after a week. If you look on the web, you'll see that iRiver is notorious for low quality. There are other brands that are good, but their mp3 players are all bigger than the iPod, and their interfaces aren't nearly as good as the iPod wheel. I don't own an mp3 player, but if I were to buy one, it would definately be an iPod.. Everything else really does suck.

I've dropped my phone a few times, if I didn't immediately put my iPod in my pocket after turning it on or switching tracks I'm sure I would have dropped it as well. Being older doesn't make you any less clumsy, if anything people abuse things more around that age (I'm 21, I should know).

if you got her a zune, she'll throw it back... or in the garbage where it belongs.

Don't be a hater.... until you've at least seen the thing seriously.

:roll:

Probably for her going to have to get an ipod like it or not. Everyone refers to mp3 players as ipods, and some people think anything else is a knockoff even the the ipod wasn't the first mp3 player.

how do you see something seriously? stare at it intently?

anyways, i've used one... it's garbage. the ui is horrible.

 

[tatteredpotato]

Well then go for the Zen, that has the pod beat.

Ipod is the fashion statement, which is the bottom line with females. The zune is a Microsoft product, therefore only used by fuddy duddy middle aged and old men, as the Apple commercials clearly show.

will zune support streaming internet radio like Yahoo radio?

 

[NFS4]

Although the techie in me says Zune, iPod FTW. I love my 5G 30GB

No, but there are rumors of a Sirius add-on.
