I usually buy myself a Christmas present every year [it beats another pair of socks] and this time I decided that an Apple iPod would be the choice. The only difficulty was deciding which one to buy and where to buy it from.

The iPod Shuffle is remarkably small and does the basics but was too limited for my intended usage. Then, there’s the cool new iPod Touch with its touch screen wizardry. In the end, the iPod Classic seemed to be the best combination for me, offering large capacity (80 or 160 GB) for storing songs, video, and photos etc, together with a decent screen [I love that Cover Flow thing].
Next question, where to buy it from?
Many online retailers stock the iPod range and prices seem to be very similar. In the UK, that’s £159 for the iPod Classic with 80 Gb memory and £230 to £250 for the higher capacity 160 GB version. In the end, I bought an 80 GB iPod Classic in silver from Play.com for £149. I have bought CDs from Play.com regularly and the service has alway been very good [touch wood].
Now, all I need to do is stock up my iTunes library….
