Ipods are great to have. If you have one you should know how convenient they are. Although Ipods do not go up in value, I believe it is worth the money. I just went and bought an Ipod Shuffle (1 gb) when they first came out for about eighty dollars, Now I see on Itunes the price has went down to 70 dollars for the same thing but it even has more memory. If I ever want to buy a different one I think I will wait a while after they come out.
