Old guy wants an iPod!! Needs advice!!!

If you just want songs go for a Nano or iPod classic (I would not go less than 16 gig personally), but if you feel you may also use it for e-mail or web surfing you will need an iPod touch. I would probably not recommend going used unless you know who it's coming from. Ipods do not have a battery that's easily replaceable... I have done two in iPod classics and one motherboard, but it's pretty tedious. I like apple products personally, but there are other mp3 players avalible for a lot less $$$$
