Ashley,
I have emailed Becky off-list. I believe she wants to know about the iPod Touch.

Becky,
there are several versions of the ipod.
The ipod touch is a small device about the size of a phone or smaller.
So, when you say you want to know more about the ipods, specify which one you want to know about. BTW the ipod shuffle is a small device but not as much memory, holds two gb of memory. But it’s a good choice if you do not want to learn a touch screen and gestures. It actually has a circle comprised of buttons that you operate it with. Bad news is you cannot jump from album to album or create playlists. You have to go through all the songs to get what you want.
