I have one of the "older" 5GB models. I wish it had an FM tuner and I wish it supported Ogg Vorbis file format... But those are just wish list stuff that Apple may or may not put into it .

More realistically; the battery life in mine seems to be much better after the last firmware upgrade. It used to be that if I'd gotten down to 2 dots on the battery, it would just dump within seconds. It doesn't do that anymore. A removeable, rechargeable battery would be brilliant! Don't know why Apple hasn't done that yet .

Ok, I'm rambling now... I guess there isn't much that I don't like, or have trouble with . I need a larger one though, as my audiobooks take up a lot of the 5GB. I'd go for the 15GB, if I had the money to buy today. Been reading about too many problems with the 30GB model...

My 30 Gig is awesome. The only issue I have is people stopping me and asking about it, kinda like my Powerbook 17".

Battery life is not as good as my original 5 Gig, but that was already specified when the 3rd generation was announced. Still an amazing amount of juice on one charge. Who is ever away from a charging capability for 7 hours?

I have it hooked up to my truck via an aux-input converter and it totally rocks!
