iPod preference...

If you could get an 80gb or a 160gb iPod classic for FREE, which would you pick? I suppose what i'm getting at is the little 160gb drive too new so that there might be problems? Or is the 160gb version noticeably larger? I looked at the specs and it certainly doesn't seem so. Just wondering if there was a reason NOT to get the 160.

You can never have too high a clock speed, too much RAM, or too big a hard drive.

Heh. well considering my current 4G model is about 15mm think, I guess size is a moot point.

I have the 160. There is no reason not to get one of these babies...

Just over 11,000 songs, and about 10 gigs of video, and it's only half full! And I encode my CDs @ highest-quality 192kbps VBR...

Go for it, what are you waiting for?
