hey keith.
i like the nano. so small i take it with me everywhere. way more than i did with my old ipod (the size of the video) the low weight is incredible. it's like having a pack of of gum on you. so you don't even notice a hotspot on your body when your biking/running/threatening shoplifters with baseball bats
unless you download lots of movies, I'd skip the video. plus 8g of music is alot.
later
