The iPod is a hard-drive based mp3 player so it costs more, but it's well worth it for 10gb (up to 30gb if you have the budget) of storage. You can use the thing as an external hdd on a Mac as well, assume you can do it on a PC too. This week I temporarily moved 5gb of stuff off my internal hdd onto the iPod to make room for a big video project I'm editing at the mo. I'd have been stuck without it (although I am now temporarily stuck without my music instead
)
Unless you have a vast mp3 library and you want to carry the whole lot around with you, 30gb is excessive, especially as you can now encode in 'mp4' format (better quality, smaller files) so go for a smaller model.
The only drawback, as smharman says, is that iTunes for Windoze requires minimum of Win2k.
