Someone should snap this up and fast because the price is fantastic. Seriously, $60 shipped for a 4th gen Nano is WOW. On eBay they are going for $75-$100 ($80-$85 is most common) PLUS shipping; even ones with scratches!
The 4th generation model offers video so you can rip movies and put them on the Nano or buy movies from iTunes and put them on the Nano! The new Nanos do NOT have video! (5th generation also has video and looks the same as the 4th generation but adds a camera)
Can you explain to me what an Ipod Nano is? I feel so dumb LOL
DD1 wants one for Xmas but I don't know what else I would need or whatever.
Is it music? Do you have to buy Cards to get more music?
You need a Mac or a Windows computer, iTunes (free download from Apple and sign up for a free iTunes account) and music to put on it. The music can be imported from CDs or you can purchase it through iTunes (other places too but iTunes is easiest). You can buy iTunes gift cards to purchase the music and your DD can just add the cards to her account and buy as she feels like it (this is what we do for DD) or you can set up an iTunes allowance where money gets put into her account automatically every month from your credit card, or you can pay per purchase with a credit card. iTunes gift cards can be bought online from Apple with free shipping or from an Apple Store, Best Buy and many other stores.
Here is a site which discusses the different iPod models.

From the pictures included in the original post, it looks like she has an iPod classic, though I am not too familiar with the iPods. Maybe it is a different style of the nano.
This link will be more helpful as it has all iPod models from the beginning
