Alain,
For Christmas, we bought Stephen a black 30Gb iPod (his second iPod). Liz started playing with it, and fell in love with it on the spot. So much so, that we bought another one for her yesterday. She started downloading TV shows (BSG, Commander in Chief, and a couple others), and I loaded all of our pictures on her iBook. She LOVES the thing.
Go to the Apple store up there by you and give it a test drive.
