iPods with video most popular gift for TUAW readers

Your comments are still rolling in in response to our question about what Mac-related gifts you got for Christmas. So far, the most common gift is the 30 GB iPod with video. (One lucky reader got his preloaded with full seasons of The Simpsons, South Park, and Futurama.) The 60 GB iPod with video and Universal iPod dock with Remote were also popular, as were various iPod speakers. A bunch of you got gift cards to the iTunes Music Store or the Apple Store.

The most unusual gift was an original Bob Dylan Think Different poster one lucky reader got from his Dad. Not many of you got computers. We heard about only one 15" PowerBook, one iBook, three iMac G5s, and a couple of older models. Maybe everyone's waiting to hear what's announced at MacWorld before investing in a new machine. We were also surprised that only three of you got iPod nanos.

Other gifts included: iPod cases, a U2 iPod, an iPod shuffle, a couple of iPod minis, a Cinema Display, several Mighty Mouses, batteries for iPods and iBooks, headphones and earphones, Wacom tablets, RAM, external hard drives, keyboards, and notebook sleeves.

What other Apple stuff did Santa bring to your house?

I got a pretty sweet Apple Think Different watch, together with the Apple Confidential and Cult of Mac books and Pirates of Silicon Valley on DVD...

I got Tiger... because my PB came with Panther and I've been too cheap to upgrade. First thing I did was backup, wipe the drive, and did a clean install. My 17in G4 is running beautifully now.

I guess I was the one who had them ad the "older computer" catigory. like I said, I got a Powermac G3 Blue and White, and a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet. what can I say? im a sucker for an ADB port.

and, I am the one who is getting (havnt had a chance to stop by the CompUSA, it may be gone, but I know they still have a 4g greyscale iPod NIB) the U2 iPod. cant wait.

oh, and Linux kicks ass on this PowerMac G3 (no, dont have OS 10.4 yet.).

I gave my mom a Mac Mini ($600) and I got a black 30gb iPod with Video. Looking high and low at bestbuys for the Jam Pocket iPod case but can't find it anywhere (I've only got gift cards from bestbuy).

the thrill is gone. -i've had mine now since it came out and..i actually use it less and less for video if i use it at all. at least i can use the 60gb for more tunes and photos.

The reason that so few people got computers is that they weren't counting down till Christmas, they are counting down till MacWorld when the REAL toys are delivered. See how many people get computers after that!
