Which ipod should I buy my 8 year old son for Christmas? I'm clueless about these things and I need some recommendations!

i say just go with an ipod shuffle he is only 8 he doesnt need that much music and a shuffle can hold a good amount of music i have had one

Normally I would get the lower end model for an eight year old. Today's youth are somewhat more proficient than when I was eight. Things like that weren't invented yet. So, Today I would buy him one of the iPods that have video, in a mid-range capacity. I don't remember what they're called, an iPod touch I believe, with a 120GB storage capacity. Sorry to not have been more help. Frankly, I'm too old to be carrying one of those around.

I would buy him the cheapest ipod nano. They are expensive and 8 year olds are not the most responsible

I POD classic has 120 GB, and the new ones have 180 GB. That's a lot of memory, and only be of any use if the child is going to be downloding thousands of songs and "A Lot!" of videos and games.

A Nano 16 GB will give your son the video, games and music capabilities, and its not very expensive. It's handier and sturdier than the IPOD touch for a child his age.

Depends. How much music does he have and how much do you want to spend? Does he just want it for music or applications and video as well? Also how hold is he? Will he be responsible with it?
