It makes me cry when people ask me:
"Which IPod should I get?"
Right now, your choices are:
Ipod Shuffle 512 MB or 1 GB
Ipod Mini 4 GB (Silver, Pink, Blue, Green)
Or Ipod Mini 6 GB (Silver, Pink, Blue, Green)
Ipod 20 GB (The Iconic White Ipod)
Ipod U2 Special Edition (The only black Ipod)
Ipod Photo (30 GB or 60 GB)
The current Ipods all connect to Macs and PCs, preferably using ITunes as the music manager. All of the current units are designed to work with USB 2.0, which is common on any computer made in the last three years. On the PC side, they really want you to be running Windows XP (Home or Professional edition) or Windows 2000. They also have adapters available to connect using firewire, which is common on Macs, and fairly rare on PCs.
And, at any time, something may be out of stock, which adds an additional level of complexity. Will you take a blue 6GB ipod mini today, despite the fact that you really want a silver 4GB mini?
When I have enough time, I don't mind walking through all the details, but today was busy, and it seemed like a constant stream of folks having trouble figuring out what they wanted.
