I agree with Corkers.  I use a nano, simply because... well, I got it well before a touch was even available.  BUT, I use it for running.  What else do I need when I run?  Am I going to try to log onto something to get an app?  I mean, who has time to do that?

So, if you're strictly using it for running (or just driving or whatever) go with the Nano.  If you plan on using it while drinking espresso, go with the touch.

Lots of great info, and you see that people are happy with whatever they got.

I lucked out, a friend who had about 5 nanos gave me one. It was an older generation, 8gig, I think, not touch. Another friend gave me the nicke fabric arm band that was too big for her arm so I was HOOKED up. I like to change songs when I run, but had a hard time doing so through the band (although it was designed for it). I accidentally stumbled across the Timex Ironman Tri with Ipod controls while looking for a training watch. That is now the perfect set up. I just put the nano in the holder upside down (it has to have a little transiever plugged into the bottom). Track, volume control, and play/pause. You lock the nano, so no more acidentally turning it off, and having to either stop, pull it out, turn it back on, or continue on with no tunes,,, yuck..

You can get a nano pretty cheap, older model lightly used dirt cheap on Craigslist etc.

have fun.

1st generation Nano still going even after going through the wash 3X...1st generation shuffle still going strong..........but I am upgrading to a classic due to limited amount of music via my nano...any way very happy with my Ipods
