I too suspect that if she had one of the new, fancy ones, she'd find uses for it -- not the radio, but the video aspects of it. I'm content to have my short-squat Nano, but then, all I do is play audiobooks and podcasts on it. I think I'd use an iTouch more, but don't really want to pay that much for it. -becca
