A good rule of thumb is the average song is about 5MB (I said average, some are higher some are lower). So when they calculate how many songs something can hold they use this formula. So based on that rule of thumb, a 1GB holds 200 songs, 4GB holds 800 and 8GB holds 1,600 songs. But this is not an exact science, just a ballpark most companies use.

Firstly, Target are Cheap and Good for iPod deals!
But if you are near an Apple Store they have 'Refurbished iPods(Like New,In fact Mint Condition,maybe ex-demo),but covered by the same warranty and 35% cheaper!!
The size depends how much music will be put on them!
4Gb is about average.
The Link below to Apple will give you the information you require,as well as a Store Locator!
Happy Holidays!!

I bought the 4GB nano at my college's bookstore (probably cheaper no taxes). The box said that it holds about 1,000 songs but, that is an estimate based on less than one minute songs!! (my friend from the Apple Store told me). So, since songs that I like are about 3 to 4 minutes long, my 4GB Ipod holds about 500 songs; this is still alot though. Again, check out a college's bookstore!

I bought my iPod nano from target and i think that they had they best deals. I bought that 4 GB it holds around 1000 songs. But for the most part they are about the same price everywhere

Get the ipod nano white 2gb it holds about 530 song which is more then enough you could try amazon. If you dont want it online probably circuit city or as you said Target. Good Luck

J&R Music World is cheap and reliable...but so close to XMas...you'd be better off going to your local Apple Store or express delivery online (for an extra fee).
Get him the smaller size...it will hold a good number of songs...black is great if you can get it...I doubt he'll turn around and say, "gee thanks for the iPod...now only if it were ____." They do make colored sleeves for iPods y'know ;-)

Buy the 8G and from Apple.com. They will engrave it for free and I got mine in 2 days from the time I ordered it. It hold 2000 songs. 4G hold 1000 and 2G hold 500. They ship for free and they have the RED one which you cannot get anywhere else. That is the one I bought. THe RED one kicks butt..
