I was being sarcastic. 
Although thinking it through 4 gigs would require you delete / move around stuff from time to time.

wow, an over-priced, poorly designed mp3 player that receives a knee-jerk response. What a surprise it comes from Apple?
For the money, there are a number of players that are better, the Creative Zen Micro is one that comes to mind. A Rio Carbon is another. But then again, those weren't designed by monkeys who have never used an MP3 player:/

so can I play my mp3's that i've downloaded from "other resources" in the Nano?
iPods play any mp3, mp4, WAV, AIFF, normal AAC, or Apple protected AAC. You can't play a normal WMA file on an iPod, but if you drag a WMA into iTunes, it will convert it to mp3, AAC, or whatever format you want.

I should be getting mine today.. W00T!.
The zen micro is horrible. I hate the little scroll bar... I think the circle scroll is a lot better on the ipod series because you can choose any track that you want without letting your hand up from the ipod.
Rio Carbon.. there's a reason why rio is bankrupt.
ipod shuffle however... = useless... unless you're blind and don't need a screen anyway.

I got mine today. Damn small, did some spec up and its 5 DVDs thick. Lenght of a business card but not as wide. You can see whats on the display without having to squint.
Sound quality is great but I need better headphones, the Apple earbuds are crap. Thinking Etymotic or Shure but not sure (no pun) about which to get.
The hard part is finding music that I really want. I guess I have to get used to the fact that I can now listen to almost anything and just fill the sucker up.
UseNet is great. I used it for some music but mostly movies, now I have a hard time choosing what I want.
4 Foo Fighters Albums, 4 DMB, The Streets, The Mitchell Brothers, Coldplay, Nirvana, Kanye West, Johnny Cash (5 albums) and some more that I forget.
Only 6 of those were mine yesterday (who am I kidding only 6 of those were mine 2 hours ago). And they were the 5 Johnny Cash albums plus one other.
Pics for the less than lucky.
