Take him to Best Buy or some place that will have the two models side by side, and let him play with them both. My bet is that he chooses the iPod without hesitation, because they are that much better.

That won't do it I think. The joy for me with the iPod (I have a 20gb 3G and and a new "old" iPod mini 4gb), is in the iTunes software (much better on a Mac verses the PC IMO, but still very much a winning combo). iTunes allows such ease of use that I have yet to find in any other software. I have one of the MiniDiscs from Sony and the MusicMatch software and it was a nightmare.
