1st Generation Refurb 2GB iPod Nano (Black)
Man this thing is a blast from the past…I still remember back in the early days of this site when I sitting in a los angeles dormitory waiting for the phone company to install internet service and started updating the site from the Apple store when Apple released the nano. What a shock it just 3 years ago to see the still-bulky and expensive ($600!) iPod Photo slim down to become nano sized!

Related: Nuvi Buying Guide
Originally posted on 05/11:
The June ‘08 issue of Consumer reports reaffirms my belief that Garmin’s Nuvi line of GPS units are far and away the best GPS systems out there.
3 out of the top 4 GPS units are Nuvi’s, and the top 2 “Best Overall” as well as the top 2 “Best on a budget” GPS units are Nuvi’s!
I currently have the number 1 rated Nuvi 760. Just based off of its ability to reroute the normal directions based on traffic and construction zones and its multi-destination route planning it is well deserving of that rating!
Consumer reports quick picks:
Best overall GPS units:
1. Nuvi 760 (Consumer reports listed MSRP: $600. Current Amazon price: $422.47)
Includes: Multi-destination planning, bluetooth, text-to-speech, real-time traffic, large LCD screen, internal antenna, “Where am I” feature, MP3 player, FM transmitter.
Note: Nuvi 770 is identical to the 760 except it adds European coverage. Amazon price: $595.48)
2. Nuvi 660 (Consumer reports listed MSRP: $500. Current Amazon price: $344.99)
Includes: Bluetooth, text-to-speech, real-time traffic, large LCD screen, MP3 player, FM transmitter.
Note: Nuvi 650 is identical to the 660 except it strips out bluetooth and real-time traffic. Amazon price: $273.95 via Beech Camera. Not carried by Amazon directly)
Note: Nuvi 670 is identical to the 660 except it adds European coverage. Amazon price: $410.25)
Consumer Reports Best Buys: Best overall when on a budget:
1. Nuvi 350 (Consumer reports listed MSRP: $350. Current Amazon price: $236.89)
Includes: Text-to-speech, compact-design, MP3 player.
Note: Nuvi 360 is identical to the 350 except it adds bluetooth. Amazon price: $239.23)
2. Nuvi 260 (Consumer reports listed MSRP: $300. Current Amazon price: $217.85)
Includes: Text-to-speech, ultra compact-design, internal antenna.

1. Go to Priceline and select “multi-destination.”
2. For flight 1 use IAD (Washington D.C./Dulles) to JFK
For flight 2 use JFK to JNB (Johannesburg, South Africa)
For flight 3 use JNB to IAD
For example by checking for a flight from iad-jfk and jfk-jnb on 11/09 and then jnb-iad on 11/16 the price comes out to $890 (which is by itself a very good price!) on United from iad to jfk and on South African for jfk-jnb and jnb-iad. When you select the $890 price though on the next page it comes back as just $580!
If you find this deal for other cities please post them!
Also be sure to post what other dates work or don’t work for you!
