1hr since I got my 30gb iPod

This may be a little early to post about experiences, but I'll continue to add as I "discover" stuff.

I just got the 30gb and it is charging in its cradle at the moment. So far, being able to touch and hold it without being stared at by the people at the computer store, it is awesome. I can't wait to stick music in it. I don't feel a huge difference in weight compared to the 15gb. I checked both models in the store and decided that THIS was definitely the one for me.

Ok its been a couple hours. I've uploaded all the albums I have so far into it, and I'm listening to music. I haven't had any problems, except trying to figure out the exact amount of force I need to put on the top 4 buttons. I've got those figured already, so :D

barely any force at all...my brother has a g3 and i can not even tap the button and it will function - super sensitive buttons...

Just to let whoever is interested know, I have been listening to music continuously for the past 3 or so hours and I haven't had any problems with skipping. The read/seek time is a couple seconds once in a while though, but that is only because a bunch of my songs are 320 and LONG. My fault :D :cool: ;)

Of course it's sensative. Want a really long explanation of how that works?
Touchpads emit a layer of electical energy around it. when that layer is disturbed by something containing water (like fingers), it can measure where that disturbance is. iPod buttons are touchpads. Hover an eyedropper of water (water soaks up elecromagnetic energy like a sponge) and it will set it off.

The difference in size is small but noticable by most people, including myself. Good call on your purchase!
