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!
