should i or shouldn't i?


i was thinking of getting a more lightweight music player so i was weighing on buying an ipod shuffle. of course, browsing through the web and looking at the ipods, i am actually drawn now to buy either an ipod nano or an ipod video. the 1GB shuffle is perfect for the gym - just clip it and i'm ready to go. besides 240 songs is more than enough for the gym and its $79 only. the ipod nano however can pack more songs with the 2GB at $149. then there's the ipod video, the 30GB is retailing at $249 and by showing my intel ID at the apple store, i get a 6% discount which offsets the tax a bit. the ipod-video actually looked cool playing videos but i was thinking when will i be able to watch the videos on my ipod anyway? a friend also tells me that apple might release a new video ipod with a bigger screen the next year or so. so should i buy for function (video) or need (music)? i have to ask though when the shuffle is coming since i passed by the apple store today and it said there "coming soon." ugh, the agony of wanting and not knowing what to do with my 40GB ipod+photo.
