from appearance I think the 2G shuffle wins hands down.

MINI.

Perfect size&weight. One-piece aluminum, no-smudge casing is a thing of beauty. People have complained about big iPod's loose clickwheels, scratch ez, Nano 1st gen screen sux, but don't remember anybody complaining about the Mini.

My favorite of all time has gotta be the updated 4g (the one with the color screen) I don't know if I'm biased towards this one because it was my first or what, but the shiny white outside and the brilliant colored screen as well as the curved edges are awesome. The video doesn't have the curved edges, and the brilliant white isn't there either because of the plastic layer over it

bobb-mini I would have to agree with you. The mini was freakin sweet cuz it came in gold!!! also other cool colors.

I prefer the looks of the monochrome 4G models and the 2G models.

I think the latest 8gb Black Nano is a work of art. I’ve had various 3rd, 4th and 5th generation iPods, all have been nice but none match the current Black Nano for looks, feel and construction IMHO.

I think the 2nd generation nano is beautiful. I love the colors and the casing makes the nano a little more stratch resistant. It's small and portable. Nano is the best for me because of how it looks.

best built is DEFINATELY 2nd gen shuffle. It is THE toughest and most convienient player out there. a built in clip and metal armor. what more can you ask for?

Best looking is DEFINetly the 1st gen nano. that box..........the plastic covered exterior.....too bad it scratched so easy.
