That's $165. For $199 you can get her the real thing--the 8 GB iPod touch.
That is true. And I've looked at that. However the cowon offers 2 things the touch doesn't. The ability to play all her movies WITHOUT reconverting them to ipod format and have 2 versions of each. All my movies now are AVI so they play on my eyehome. And the touch won't play AVIs so i would have to convert them. The cowon will play AVIs. Also, the most important thing about the cowon that is lacking on the touch is expandability. With the touch I'm stuck with 8gb (the amount on her nano that is filled already) With the cowon I have the ability to put another 16gb of movies onto a SD card and be on our way.
edit: And another thing. Does the touch have speaker(s)? I didn't think it did so you would need headphones. Our girl has them for her ipod but she doesn't like wearing them. Which is another reason i wanted something that she could listen to w/o headphones. (Yes, she watches movies on her ipod with no sound).
