My iPod dilemma

I can’t decide between a brand new iPod nano, or a (since discountinued) 30GB iPod photo. You all know why I’d spring for the nano, but I’m sure you’ve raised an eyebrow about the 30GB photo. Here are my reasons to go with the older, larger model:

• I can fit ALL my music and ALL my photos (which results in a reliable backup solution)
• More accessory options

The nano is capable of storing and viewing photos, but I have over 5GB of photos. I don’t know how I got that many, but I do.

I’ve already tried to get a nano twice … both times I’ve showed up at the store (different vendors, mind you) and been told they had literally just sold out. This after I called and confirmed its availablity at both places. Oh, the humanity! Now, I’m starting to wonder if God is trying to tell me something. Maybe I should just give up and go with the more innocuus, 30GB model.

Hence, my iPod dilemma.
