I'm looking for some info. My wife would like an MP3 player so I looked at several. Ofcourse I looked at an iPod .. also a Dell (my daughter has one & likes it). I was wondering why a 6G iPod mini says it stores 1000 songs when a 5G Dell holds 2500. Seems like a big difference. Is this just markeing or do store things much different?
