<p>Well what do you have right now? And how big are you getting it?</p>
<p>Pros:
- It’s just generally pretty spiffy.
- It has a pretty decent battery life (I’ve had a generation 1 for almost a year and it still gets me through 8 hours easily as long as I don’t spend too much time looking for songs/shuffle)
- You can flip the screen to watch podcasts/television shows
- All the free apps you can download.</p>
<p>Cons:
- Cost: If you have a lot of music, I would stick with the traditional Ipod. I well over 5,000 songs, which puts me at 15 GB and change – so the 16 GB was bare minimum what I could get, and at the time it costed more than the 80/120GB traditional.
- The apps are cool, but a lot of the super cool ones require a wifi connection because they were originally designed for the Iphone, so you have to be near a wireless connection to use them.
- The technology is over a year old: ie. by apple standards, they should be coming out with something new by Summer 2010 at their Designer’s Conference. If this matters at all to you, I would hold out.</p>
