My parents are going to Gibraltar in a couple of days, as Gibraltar is know for its cheap electronics, I fancy buying myself an IPod. However I know very little about which is the best.
I know Microsoft Zune is due at at Christmas, Is it worth buying an IPod now ? Or am I best waiting for the Microsoft version to come out?
Also can anyone let me know, roughly how many tracks can i get on a 30GB IPod. Having looked at them online they retail around £219 so I suppose anything cheaper than that in Gibraltar is a good deal.
Cheers for the help guys! :thumb:

I ignored them all and got an iPod Mini in July. I love it, great choice by me I say
Creative's are much easier to use. And the battery life sucks on iPods as well. I got an iPod a few months ago, and the battery lasted me 12 days. Now, I wasn't listening to it 24/7, so it should've lasted me much longer than that...
Actually, after using my old Creative and my boyfriends Zen Touch, I find my iPod ten times easier to use.
I was just thinking maybe people will stop buying and wanting IPods when the new Microsoft rival Zune comes out.
I must admit im a sucker for fashion and brands, so thats why I want an
IPod. I just dont want to buy it and find in a few months I should have waited.
Thanks for the advice all :thumb:
id go for apple rather than microsoft though, any day of the week.
Mine was 'new', so tell me why it only lasted me 6 hours?
