Proud new owner of an iPod color 20GB. I must come up with a suitable name for my precious. :)

Once I actually looked at them side-by-side, getting the mini wasn't even an option. The size difference is so minimal as to be ridiculous, and for $45 more, I added 14GB to my music capacity, and got a color screen. I'm going to invest in an iskin for color and style. It's charging right now, and I'm ripping CD's to my laptop. Can't wait to try it out. :)

ETA (several hours later): iPod is charged, formatted, and playing song #6 out of 408. So far, everything I have on here is a movie score. The playlist includes the following:

The Crow
Bicentennial Man
Children of Dune
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace 2 disk set
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (which I am still disgusted never had a 2 disk set released)
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
All three LOTR scores
Mulan: extended score
Armageddon: bootleg extended score
Predator
Pirates of the Caribbean
Finding Nemo
Batman Begins
Count of Monte Cristo

More will be added soon. And I'm going to start a playlist of non-score music, too. Mark is currently trying to figure out iTrips so he can listen in the car tomorrow morning.

Summon the Worms off Children of Dune is one powerful piece of music. Not as powerful as Inama Musif, but one of the better tracks. Hell, that entire score is amazing. Very majestic feeling.

i love your icon. i'm going to elope with it. we will be very happy. i'm changing my last name to iDalek.

I can't take credit, unfortunately. seshat1 made it. I must admit I fell in love the instant I saw it. Maybe an iTardis would have been a smidge better, but other than that, hands down the best i-icon I'v found. :)

I called my first 15 gig'er prehistoric Rio Riot 'Mazda' (and everything else after her 'mini-mazda') as she was so big that having her on the belt was like strapping a Mazda to the hip.

Of course, the ipod has a different look to her. May I suggest 'OWhiteWOneder'? *ducks*

LOL! Well, the iPod is somewhat smaller than a Mazda, thank goodness. And since I'm getting a color iskin, it won't be white much longer (also thank goodness). :) What brand MP3 player do you have now? We looked at several, but the iPod had all the features we wanted, was sleek, and the controls easy.

A small iriver, 256mb, good for running around the city. I keep Mazda around for longer trips.

The ipod has a good rep; I have a girlfriend who got one a year ago and loves hers.

I totally agree about the size vs. cost vs. drive space issue, hence I have the 20G as well. And I meant to tell you that I bought a cover for mine that comes with a removeable arm band and belt clip. The arm band works pretty well for running (though it's a bit big and eventually works its way down to my elbow...still feels pretty secure).

Congrats!!
