TIA
Get the Video man..I got the nano for my 6 year old, (now 7) and once she saw me on the plane watching Saturday Night Live on mine, that was it...We got her the video...

Shes not a brainiac, and she can Import CD's to iTunes, sync the iPod, everything..Libra (I forgot who introduced me to it on here, but I love you ) does it ALL...The only thing I dont let her do is buy music....and Im now showing her how to make her Playlists...Now shes got a bunch of complete seasons of her favorite shows, and more music than she could ever listen to...The only problem with young kids and iPods is, they NEVER turn it off...And Im guilty off it half the time as well...I think the "extended depress" is the worst part of using it....

Also, the price difference between the nano and a 30GB Video is not worth the difference, unless you WANT the decrease in size...To me, its a no brainer!

OK I'm Done I'm anyway so this is my last comment on the subject. Besides I did chime in with my suggestion regarding what to buy.

I said i believe for a 6 year old it takes up too much valuable time.

Of course it's diffrent. Thays why you get adults walking around in isolation like a bunch of robots. I wouldn't expect them to see the error in allowing a 6 year old to do it.

Correct! And that why my 6 year old would not be getting one. But remember that would be my 6 year old and how i would raise him. Everyone else has to do what they think is right.

We're just debating. No appologies necessary.

And a nice debate with someone from Canada at that.
