Hi, I was thinking of buying one of the old 10GB iPods, I was just wondering, are the new 15GB iPods thinner than the old 10GB one or the same size?

Thanks

Actually, the new 30 GB iPods are smaller and lighter than the old 10 GB models. The new 15's are smaller than that again.

Macworld.com, via Pricegrabber, provides a chart comparison between all the models of the 2nd and 3rd generation iPods:

The 2nd generation 10GB iPod is 4.0"H x 2.4"W x 0.72"D, and weighs 6.5 oz.

The 3rd generation 15GB iPod is 4.0"H x 2.4"W x 0.62" D, and weighs 5.6 oz.

I got a chance to compare these models, and although the new iPods look smaller overall, they're only thinner by 0.1", and the other dimensions are the same. I think they look smaller because of the rounded edges, which are more squared in the 1st 2 generations.

BTW, I was planning on buying a new 30GB iPod, until today - Target is closing out the 10GB 2nd generation iPods for half-price - marked down from $399 to $199 now! (I got the last Mac model at our local Target.) At that low-ball price, I couldn't resist!
