    Thanks for that, sounds like the other way to idnetify is the volume rocker switch. For anyone who wants to check, it's a black rocker switch on the top left hand side I believe....

    this one could also be the 1st version. In specs it says 22hrs audio playback but in the product overview it says 36hrs

    I have just bought the 8gb from Currys for £149 but got a free £25 itunes voucher and £9.99 case and 3% cashback via quidco on reserve and collect. I also ordered a power charger for £8.99 instead of £25.99 and speaker for £29.99 instead of £59,99. The offer is only available until Wednesday and I did have to point out to the assistant the additional itunes and case offer There is a £10 voucher available which takes the IPod to £139.99 but only for Home Delivery.
  • Might be worth enquiring about the Curry's offer I posted as it was from someone who mentioned it today. That doesn't mean it stands though but check it out all the same.
  • We are thinking of getting one of these.

    Can someone please explain to me, other than the capacity, what the differences are between the 8 gig and 32 gig or larger?

    I have read that the larger sizes are "faster", but faster in what way? and is it worth the extra money?
