I have a 40 gig ipod. They now cost $350 (10% off that price direct from apple if you are a student...). I love this thing. I commute on mass transit a couple days a week for college and I don't know how I lived without it before. I have roughly 2500 songs on it (25% of capacity) and get more every day. I have the "AA" battery pack for it that gives me endless battery life without the charger. It is a lifesaver on transatlantic flights and long train/bus rides. I am looking for some spanish language cd's to load on it so I can begin learning. It also accepts audiobooks. Not to mention the calendar, games, and note pad (that all have to be loaded from iTunes...). The sound quality is immaculate and the factory headphones sound excellent.
I know its long but I am a geek traveler at heart. Go for it man! If you don't like it, you can unload it on ebay EASILY. I want an ipod photo so I can dump my digi cam pics on it and see them in color on a bigger screen BEFORE i get home. That's just me tho!
No matter what, get one. All my friends have ipods too so I have no basis for comparison.
