i was happy with my 3rd gen....i honestly like the face style of it the best out of any of the other iPods....but, i dont have it anymore (that f*ck) so i do need to get a new one. i do like the fact that theyre color now tho. i was gonna get hooked up with a 60gig iPod photo from a friend for cheep (a little more then the 20gig price), but i dont htink i will, just cuz i dont need all of that, haha, and aslo i could save a couple bucks, to put towards a headunit, amp, and sub.
