I am not a big gadget guy and I do not have the USB port in my 535. All I want is an inexpensive IPod with decent memory.
What amount of memory do I need? Cheapest place to get one?
TIA

Decent memory for workouts or short car drives? Or something that is going to store your entire workout collection?

Ipod shuffles are nice and cheap for the shorter trips/occasions. They run about $50 for 1 GB...GL


BUt to clarify, you don't have an ipod/USB port in the car, but still want an IPOD?

I want this exclusively for the car and short trips. I do not have the USB port, but I do have an AUX plug. I can get a cord to go from the AUX to the IPod right?

Like geneatals said - get something small in memory and most definitely with flash-based memory. I have 80Gb iPod and playlists load VERY VERY slowly! I recently tried my wife's Nano and it worked much better.
As far as the purchase - try Apple Store and look into refurbished products. You get a perfect quality Nano plus free $15 iTunes card...if it matters to you.
