refurbished ipod nanos as gift.....good idea?

[gothamm]

I am going out of the county to visit family, and want to get them goodies. i am not trying to be cheap, but i do need to buy the ipod nanos in bulk. so refurbished seems to be a good idea.

only thing concerning me is the packaging...is it gift worthy...or does it come in a ghetto brown box?

The don't use brown boxes for the refurbished iPods anymore. It's a nice white box with an Apple logo and all the accessories are packaged inside like new.

cool cool...does it say "refurbished" anywhere?

I haven't had the box for over a year but it might.

also, on the refurb product page for the ipod nano, it says usb 2.0 is required.

I think most of them may have older desktops with usb 1.1...

...problem?

I've seen USB 1.1 incompatibility threads from time to time on the iPod boards.
