Recently, we purchased our kids some iPod Nanos. I thought I would share with you all a couple of things that I have learned from this experience. 
 
Have you thought about how you will manage music/apps/games on multiple iPods/iPhones across your entire household? The thought of this terrified me. Would I have to manage multiple iTunes accounts? How about multiple iTunes accounts in multiple user accounts across multiple computers? Now you get the picture. 
 
So the best case scenario would be this. Apple allows you to register multiple devices in a single iTunes account on a computer. In a perfect world, one would have a master iTunes account (one Apple ID) for all of your music, movies, iPod games, iPhone apps, iPods, iPhones and use that account to register and manage all of your devices. Here is why: 
 
If you manage things this way, your family (and their numerous devices) can have access to ANY of your music, and ANY of your iPod games, and ANY of your iPhone/iPod Touch apps. In the case of games and apps, you'll only have to purchase an iPod game one time, but you can install it on any number of iPods. You'll only have to purchase an application for iPhone or iPod Touch one time, but you can install it on ANY number of iPhones or iPod Touches. 
 
What I did was configure iTunes in the oldest daughter's account on their computer. I copied all of the music and movies to that account. I then registered both of my children's iPods to this same account. This way they can access the same music library, movie library, and iPod application library. It works out very well. 
 
Lastly, I just have to share my thoughts on the iPhone/iPod Touch app called Scrabble. BUY IT! Besides computer opponents, it has LAN-based multiplayer. My wife and I sat in some comfy chairs playing against each other across the living room. 2 hours later at the game's conclusion, we were convinced that this was a fantastic implementation of Scrabble. I highly recommend this game.
