I had a 2nd gen iPod Nano with 4g of memory at first and loved it.  The apple software is great and I would recommend it over any other brand of mp3 player hands down. 

 At first I thought the 80g would be far more than I needed and would be pointless.  Now that I have one I don't know how I ever got along with out it.  While I still only use a fraction of the space, I love having video on it.  I makes a portable DVD played no longer needed.  I also use it as a back up hard drive for my computer.  Ipods are't just for movies and music.  My iPod holds all of my photos as well as important...
