Apple Ipod vs Microsoft Zune

your electric utility company must love you so much.

shouldn't you consider getting a psp first then wait a few months and see if apple pushes through with its plans for a widescreen video ipod?

The current Apple video iPod is more than sufficient. The majority of my converted files are 4:3 anyway. I plan to buy a battery add-on which extends video playback to 10 hours. That's more than enough time while I'm cooped up inside an airplane. Once I'm done using the iPod, I can always hand it to my daughter and let her use it.

My daughter wants a DS Lite (spoiled brat ). If her Mom does buy her one, I'll just buy the Opera cartridge and use my daughter's (old, fullsize) DS. In fact, I'm drawn more to the DS as I type this:
