I pod's

Its coming up to the missus' birthday, and she's been babbling on about wanting a docking station for her (now old) Creative Zen Sleek, but, after some research, they dont seem to exist.

Arse.

So, plan is as follows...

Buy I Pod thing for birthday, then get docking station for crimbo.

But, i have no idea what to get, she wont use it for anything bar music, so no photo's, video's or anything flash, think hers is currently 2 or 4gb, think anything bigger than that would be good.

Biggest thing on the list is that it must be compatable with a decent docking station, one that it slips into, not hangs around with a wire hanging out of its arse.

So, ladies & gents, fire away with suggestions, i'd prefer it to be less than £120, anything around that would be ok, but must be a new one.

Cheers for the help.

Anyone with any good (look nice & sound ok) docking station ideas, fire them this way too please!

Ta.

whats the difference between the nano, classic, and other models?

capacity size etc
classic are hdd based and come in 120gb only now but may be a few 80/160's around
nanos are much smaller but hold much less 8gb/16gb

Also, there are plenty of speakerdocks that you can buy for the iPod. Just go to any consumer electical store and you'll find loads. As for a dock to connect to the PC, Apple make one that you plug the cable into the back of, and the iPod sits neatly upright

Good luck

I've got an 80gig Classic, it's pretty big, I've got about 2000 songs on it, + about 7 movies and a few tv series & it isn't even half full. It's a little bulky, but anything smaller & I'd loose it!
The missis has a pink Nano, 8gig which she's filled, holds plently of songs mind & like me shes got movies etc on it too.
Nanos are about £90 last time I looked, classics about £150.
Get her a nano & she'll wonder how she ever listend to music before, there a million times better than anything else!
We've got a speaker dock from varphone warehouse, folds flat for travelling and sounds pretty mint whenypur using it.
