What should i get a ipod nano or a ipod classic?
Recently apple released an ipod nano 5th gen and they also released a updated ipod classic. So i was wondering what i should get the ipod nano 16gb or the ipod classic 160gb. I know they both have there ups and downs but i still dont know what to get so can anyone help me chose.
Answer
it depends on what youre using it for..
if you want small, a choice of colors, and a camera go with the nano
if you don’t care about the size and want alot of storage go with the classic
i would say the classic because most people already have cameras in their phone and color doesnt really matter to me..the 144 more gigs is a huge thing..in my opinion storage is everything in an ipod
