I have a 40 GB 3rd Generation iPod (it's warranty is almost up so I'm going to trade it in soon to Best Buy for a new 80 gig) and a black 60 GB video iPod. I also have a black 4 GB Nano. I got on the iPod bandwagon back in September of 2002 - literally the day the PC iPod's came out and have upgraded as each generation has come out (via Best Buy's 4 year PSP program -- know how to work the system and life is sweet), though I got the 60 GB video for my birthday in 2005 and the nano as part of my Audible.com membership (and I love that I can use it with the Nike shoe insert). It's not THE BEST for sound quality, but I love the interface and the design, and a pair of $200 Shure earbuds makes it sound pretty freaking awesome.

If I want really supreme sound quality, I still have my old trust MiniDisc player/recorder with USB connection so I can directly download from FLAC, MP3 or any other format. The downside, only 80 minutes per disc. The upside? Great quality, I can use it as a DAT with my video camera, and I have a home player/recorder that I got on the cheap that is optically connected to my receiver.
