Are likely to be cheaper in Duty free than in the UK, looking at getting a nano one?

Not sure if this is the right form mind

I would imagine so but check out the prices at your destination.

My brother went on holiday, bought a video camera in the duty free shop. Found it was cheaper at their holiday destination.

Cheers all Padgett whats it like, how many GB is a film gonna take up. At that price may indulge in one of them instead.

Ripped from a DVD, and converted to Mpeg4, Star Wars (70mins) took nearly 500mb. Albeit for the PSP, the size must be fairly similar.

i won a nano the other day in an raffle, but at 2GB it can hardly fit a tenth of my music collection on it.

probably going to whack it on ebay, make a few quid.

edit to add:

my point being that the nano is tiny and looks impressive, but has very little storage, which would prevent me from buying one, i'd go with a video, they are the business.

quite impressed actually - bought it for wife for christmas.

i had a bit of bother getting itunes to work, but all ok now. the little screen is suprisingly good.

They are 15% cheaper in Heathrow/Gatwick dixons, and come with a uk warranty.

i agree with dobbo, an ipod is just a storage device, getting a 2gb one might look nice but it misses the point, not enough storage.

I recently purchased a 60gb, plenty of storage there, only have 28gigs worth of tunes and pictures on it so far and it is saying 86.4 days worth of music! WOW

more is best

also, anyone know a decent way to get it in a car other than Icelink and the Harman Kardon Drive and play?

want to look at all the options before I buy.

Thanks
