Instead of their two front teeth, kids are asking for the iPod.

In Galveston county a group of almost 300 fifth-graders was surveyed and asked to name their top three most wanted holiday gifts. The iPod, not surprisingly won, followed by video game systems and other electronic gadgets.

Eleven year-old Anthony Grey answered the question of why, saying “(The iPod) is special because lots of kids like to listen to hip-hop music. You can download any music on there — even pictures.” He also liked that it works with his MySpace page adding that “It’s the best gift a child could ask for.

Children do love the iPods and the most requested seems to be the iPod Nano for $149. The Nano plays music and showcases photos and album art. The Shuffle is the least expensive and the newest, hottest iPod this season, for only $79, but only plays music. The iPod Video for $249, is the most versatile, allowing music, photos and video.

Just make sure that when buying one of these ultra-cool, but rather expensive gifts for your child to protect it. Ipod horror stories of breakage are all over the web, thus it is wise to safeguard your investment with a good iPod case.
