iPOD?

90% of the people I know own an iPod and I have never felt the urge/compulsion to own one — until now. I am preparing for our beach trip, the first long trip we’re taking with Andrea and I need something handy which can keep Andrea entertained for hours.  I am anticipating waiting for hours for our flight, the ferry, etc. and travelling with a (very heavy and) cranky toddler is not really something pleasant.

So the first question would be if I should buy an iPod or not?

Then, if I should buy an iPod nano or an iPod Touch.  I really don’t care much for the apps of the iPod touch. I don’t think I’d be using it a lot, what I like about it though is the size of the screen and the fact that Andrea will be able to watch movies without having to wear earphones. I don’t think she’d take to kindly to earphones. The iPod nano on the other hand is cheaper, smaller and just exactly what I need…save for the fact that the lcd is the size of a postage stamp and that Andrea can’t listen to something without the earphones.

What to do, what to do? Who knew choosing ipods would be so complicated. I’ll update you once I’ve made my decision. =)
