iPod

I've heard Target has a 3rd generation 10gb one clearancing out at 209.00.
Is this any good?
Can you rip your own CD's into MP's on it?
How many songs is 10gb?

That's pretty good. With iTunes (available for Mac and Windows) you can load up an iPod from CDs.

Using rough math and estimations, MP3s are (approximately) a meg a minute, thus 10,000 minutes for 10 gigs, or roughly 2000 songs at 5 minutes each, or, scaled further, more or less 200 CDs worth of music.

For comparison, the current low end in Apple's lineup is the 15GB iPod for $299, not counting the mini iPods, which are $249 for a freakey-styley cased 5GB model.

I bought one...

This week and its killer. It was my husband Vday pres. He loved it, I wish I had bought it for me. ;)

I bought the 15g for 299. If you have a PC, you will either need a firewire card, found very cheap for $15, or a USB ipod connector. We went for the card as it was cheaper. We also bought another accessory where you can broadcast your ipod over the radio in any car, or sterosytem. Way cool.

How well does your iTrip work? I got one for my hubby's iPod for Christmas. I'm disappointed - it doesn't seem to work well at all!

We had some issues with it, but we used the cd that came with it. Turns out there is some update software available that is supposed to make it better, and even has some Itrip stations that scan for available/best stations available in your area. Have not tried it yet, but hoping it help. We did find a station that works best in our area, and it is okay, but not digital quality sound, witrh some occasional static too.

Very good price for that. A few places had it for $250 and they flew off the shelves (it was $300 two months ago, but then they made the $300 model 15gb instead).

You'll be very happy with it.

My Target didn't have any. Bummer.
