I actually bought my wife an IPod mini the other day. I feel dirty for the Mac thing
4 gig will be more than enough for her. As a humorous side note, I bought it at a bigbox and here was the conversation with sales boy:
SB: Hello Mr. interested in the iPods?
LD: Yes, for my wife. Do these all accept the same formats? I mean can you just rip to these from your CD collection?
SB: Oh yes, it's very easy! Does she have windows XP?
LD: Actually she's part of the MAC cult so that part is easy.
SB: [confused look] Hmmmm, I don't think itunes works on a MAC. But if you have XP she could just do it from your PC.
LD: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........[scanning SBs face for sarcasm and sadly not finding it] Yea........Apple makes these, I don't think that's a problem.
SB: Oh yea right [obviously no clue what I'm talking about] so let me tell you about our great in store extended warranty!
LD: [sigh]
I also got her the matching FM transmitter so she could take it anywhere. I was most impressed with that I think, excellent design and ery compact/integrated.
