If all you want is a set of white earphones no if you want an mp3 player that can play video and store a lot of stuff then yes.

It all depends on what you want, 20GB is fine for mostpeople who want to carry a lot of music arround with them and I mean a lot I drive 4-7 hours most days and I go through about 15GB every 3 weeks and I do skip a few albums. I have my sony HD3 wired in to my car stereo as a cd multichanger so it does get used a lot.

big version = 80gb

small version = 30gb

i prefer the smaller one - sleeker design; the 80gb is quite chunky. 30GB is a lot of music and has space for all your photos and things should you need it. I don't think the extra is really worth it. Rumour has it Apple will bring out new ones soon in the shape of 40gb, 80gb and 120gb

I have an 80gb Ipod and have used it for music, converted 6 /7 dvds so far, and sync'd with Outlook 2003.

I also have a cable that links it to a tv so it in effect a very portable dvd player as well.

Still only used up about 15 gig.

It was a present, its nice, but a little expensive.

Any reason you are going for the Apple Ipod over another (cheaper) brand?

I thought I'd never fill 30GB, but I'm now at 19GB (after 13 months) and seriously wish I'd bought the bigger drive model.

I love my Ipod. I use it for 90% music and 10% video for hols and stuff and I'm sure I'll use it more for podcasts etc when I understand them better.

Go for the biggest drive model you can get!
