Hi guys,
Now, now.. I've had a 10GB iPod 2G for quite a while now, and I really don't have any problem with it, but I'm starting to feel the itch of trying a newer version. I'm trying to decide whether I should go with the newest version of the iPod (for an incredible amount of money.. which I find ridiculous, since I'm not the biggest video addict) or maybe try to find a 4G and settle for "less". Then again, I keep reading mixed reviews about the monochromatic 4G's versus their colorful update. Is B&W generation really bad? If so, how is it bad and why would color be better?
One thing also keeping me from going 5G is the fact that it doesn't support FireWire and that my PC only has USB 1.0 (or whatever slow version that isn't 2.0). I don't want to have to dish out another 30$ for a card after buying the iPod.
I've also just bought E4's, so a nice black iPod would be awesome looking
But this also means that whichever generation I'm going to be getting (or staying with) will have to be able to sound good with E4. I think I had read stuff about older generations of iPods not being able to drive E4 properly, but that 5G was really good with E4.
So, bottomline, can anyone guide me as to what I should do and pleae try to explain your choices. Keep in mind, I have a 2G 10GB iPod and would like more space, don't mind that much for color and/or video but it could be a plus (if the plus compenses for the price bump that comes with it.) Also, SQ (or synergy) with E4 is a big factor.
Thanks
