I don't think it's hard at all.
Just a matter of formatting -- which can be redone (I think)
there are plenty of tutorials
or you can get some software to treat it just like a PC drive
$250 isn't THAT great of a price.
If you wait for a good deal, you might be able to get one for $175

I'm pretty sure the ipod comes with earbuds, but some people might want different ones
Here's some info:

I PM'd you the other info you wanted
From the sounds of the Apple site (footnote on link I mentioned) all 5GB have the moving dial instead of the touchpad dial.
Don't think it's THAT big of a deal though.
oh yeah! the new ipods:

Stinks that the low-end model doesn't come with the dock though

God this is gay even the new models dont come with the extras. You know i bet they could sell tons more that way if they did
and also, I dont think the dock is as big a drawback as the case or remote. I mean what kind of retard cant find a cable sticking out of the back of his computer? Heh, that sounds like material for one of those "has this ever happened to you" type of commercials where a guy is trying to shove a pizza in his toaster.

the dock is availible for separate purchase BTW ($39)
it also allows you to hook it up to a stereo.
The main advantage is elegance and simplicity. Since that's what iPod (esp Mac users) love about the iPod, the dock is a nice addition
other accessories can be found here:

So what the heck did you end up getting?
I've been looking at the Nomad Zen -- 60 GB !!!!
But I am not looking at it as a portable. I am happy with my irock because it is tough and disposable if lost. I want a hard drive based player for my stereo. I'd like to have all of my music available in my living room and portable to other rooms without booting up a computer. I'd really love to find one with a remote!
So, can anyone comment on the 60GB zen? Is it over kill? I only have about 6 CDs full of MP3s right now. And the new ipod looks pretty sexy. Should I just get a cheap 20 GB jukebox and wait for technology to continue improvements?

Cruising The Register today it looks like Toshiba is about to drop the ball on Apple with this thing.

I ended up buying a 10 gig model 2 style Ipod and I got the dock for my birthday. The dock kicks some heavy ass. I'm really happy with my Ipod there is nothing more I could ask for.
Psh that toshiba thing doesn't seem to be too much better than the Ipod and the price tag wont justify it's smaller design I bet.
Yeah I'm just trying to defend a product I paid for... shut up.
