Until you can connect an ipod straight up to a TV, I wouldn't spend a lot on an ipod with tons of memory with a screen smaller than the touch. How many songs can you listen to in one trip if/ when your traveling? Probably not even an ipod shuffle's worth. Until you start needing it to store lots of other media, your just hauling around something larger than you need to, potentially losing something more expensive to replace that is holding a lot of things you will never use. I like the shuffle for snowboard trips. It's super small and inconspicuous, I put together a playlist that will hold more than enough music that I'm currently into before I go (then I don't have to skip through a lot of things I don't want to hear.) and if it got lost, stolen or broke it's only 49$ to replace. If you need slightly more flexibility the nano has it. If you get a 160 WTF are you going to fill it with?
