the 2g ipod nano's are becoming really popular just like the mini's due to their color. the zune may be better, but it's ugly (imo) and is too new. the ipod looks cool, and has tons of accessories.

The iPod is like Malibu Stacy in The Simpsons. "OMG! She has a new hat! I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT!"

As much as I hate ipods, get one for her.
If she is unhappy with it, she can blam herself and the bandwagon of sheeple that surround her.
If she is unhappy that you bought her anything else, she will just blame you.

Buy her a Zune. She can then sell it and get the iPod that she wants. That way, both Microsoft and Apple win.:p

Edit: And people plan Christmas gifts around Halloween?:confused:

the ipod is the quickest way into her pants short of something shiny, metallic and possibly with a rock embedded in it.

I'd like her home address then so I can make a "trash pickup" ;)

Wouldn't the better choice be what she wants instead of what we want?

I voted other, but it's what SHE wants that matters. :p
