[chicken]

not an ipod but similar, I have an iriver ihp H120 (not the catchiest name).

Interface is not as user-friendly as an ipod but much more flexible. I use it to store all of my music (plays back all formats), every digital photo I have ever taken, and all of my work files backed up (it is effectively a plug & play hard drive).

If I was to buy one now, I'd probably look at a 40Gb or 60Gb unit with a colour screen (that can play back photos).
