Default I-Spy with my little eye something beginning with P

Right. Lets talk I-Pods. I just got one, and it's a pretty little thing. Bloody expensive, But very nice. all white and shiny. Didn't want to touch it for the first few hours.
Okies, very new to the whole thing... I had an MP3 player, and can do all the music stuff, but I wanna know any other bit and pieces I should know from other people... Like I see it has games on it... can I get more? Where? What kinda of videos can I play on it? What about the Pod-Cast thingys? Where do you get them?
Any and all info, tips, and secrets welcome.

Well, first off, are you talking Regular, Shuffle, Video, Nano, Alpha, Beta...

Second off, are you going to get an account with the Apple Store?

A video. 30Gb, White. Second, No.
Is it always so flipping hard to get stuff on the Ipod? I liked my old MP3 player, just drag and drop!

Well, I have to confess that I know next to nothing about iPods in the first place, so my opinions really aren't worth anything.

I want one of these. A jump drive that you can use as a jump drive, and a music player that you can combine it with. You see, I only want a portable music player. Cell phone, video, schedule program, all that other stuff, I really don't need, or at least want as a separate device.

Pray to god you never have a problem with this thing breaking. The problems people have returning them... ugh.

Personally I will probably never go near one of those things with a ten foot pole. That's me, though.

But as far as getting stuff on an iPod, iTunes seems to be the way to go. Wikipedia is quite useful. You can get games from the iTunes store, according to this. Here ya go.

Or maybe you want something a little more free?

Okay, I admit it, the ability to link text is my new fun toy. But I have tried to find some useful and informative sites, I think.
