[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 47856, member: 5184"] I recently bought a new 3g 20GB for the exact same price than the 4g 20GB (the shop was selling out the 3g's). The differences are that the 3g has no mechanical buttons(4g has mechanical click-buttons in the wheel), and, to me, looks way cooler because it has an all-white front (4g has that ugly grey click-wheel) and because, with the backlight on, the 4 buttons are illuminated in red (4g: no illuminated buttons). The 4g is slightly thinner than the 3g, but not much. And, very important, the 3g 20GB had more accessories included than the 4g (dock, cable remote, holster with beltclip, cost 39,- Euro each). So, at the end, for the same price, I got more. ;) Both work fine with Windows. But, if you want to use your iPod on both platforms, make sure you initialize it on the Windows PC. Because the Mac can read a Windows formatted iPod, but Windows can't read a Mac formatted iPod. The 3g 15GB doesn't come with those accessories, it has the same equipment than 4g 20GB. The only real advantage of the 4g is it's longer lasting battery. [/QUOTE]
