I bought my 30gig video ipod about 3 months ago and am very pleased with it, having moved up from the ipod mini when its battery went kaput and stopped charging.
While I was pricing the new ipod before purchase, it seemed to me all retailers were selling it for £219, almost as though this is the minimum price Apple allows resellers to sell the unit for, though this could very well not be the case now. I did try eBay, but after figuring in delivery charges and the risk/wait of having the item delivered in the post, I decided the savings were negligible and ended up just buying from Dixons.
As for the rumours of yet another update to the ipod range, I'm not sure I would worry too much about that.... the current ipod was a new model when I bought mine so I can't see Apple alienating customers who just bought new ipods by releasing yet another new and improved version so quickly... could be wrong though :think:
As other members have mentioned, 5th generation (i.e. the latest model) ipods are charged with a USB cable plugged directly into your computer. You can however buy this wall-adaptor to charge the ipod without a computer handy.
p.s.- I highly recommend you budget for a protective case for the ipod as well, as the ipod's glossy finish can scratch relatively easily against keys and change in your pocket. I have this one from Agent18.com, and am very happy with it.0
