Video. Holds far more. Nano is nice but most of us here have music collections that would require something like 10 4GB nanos to hold.

nano for sheezy! it's way smaller, plus who needs all that space when you're on the go. you can always change up your music later.

I think the video, but that depends on what kind of codecs it can play. If it can only play .mov than that is gay. but if it could play my divx movie collection that would be PIOMP

take your whole video collection over to your buds house, never have to rent a movie again :)

get the video, holds more, bigger screen, still smaller than regular ipod, and its the best bang for the buck buck buck.

dude the video is pretty small. they shrunk it way down. i wouldn't want anything smaller. the price difference isn't that big and the video doubles as an external hard drive ;)

that is what i thought until i bought one a couple weeks ago

they are, frankly, brilliant and revolutionary. that they made that thing so intuitive is just plane genious.

my friend bought a 60gig video about a week back. to convert a divx/xvid avi file, what you need to do is this (at least this is what he is doing)

convert the avi to a full-frames uncompressed, mpeg 2 file.
convert that to a 320x240 m4v or mov file.

it took him a day on a relatively fast system to convert a 1080p batman begins for use on his ipod. it did look frekin sweet though.

nano is sexy but to have a 30gb hard drive in your pocket is about 20x sexier. I'm a guy. I don't mind stuffing something larger in my pocket. After all, Im already happy with my 20gb 4th gen, so it's not too big IMO.

DivX is AVI. Video iPod plays Apple's version of MPEG4... Hmm... let me make my own short pixel video and put it on the video iPod. I'm gonna use QuickTime Pro for the conversion. I read the conversion's really slow.
