I just got my Ipod...?

No. Most devices only get between 90%-97% of the storage they're marketed for, due to the formating of the data.

3.68 gigs is a lot. 25 mb is not the same as 25 gigs, gigs is much larger. You have a lot of space left. if you don't understand what i'm saying, at the bottom of your update itunes screen it'll give you a visual of how much space is left on your ipod.

Its says right on the packaging that unformatted space is 4 gig

but with formatting and the OS, actual memory is less than 4 gig

they advrertise 4 GB...but in real life...ther is a little less MB less in it...they do it so you will go out and buy another ipod...when you run out of room...dont worry though..you have a lot of more room for songs and videos....and 7 MB isnt that much...so just enjoy your ipod....Happy New Year

it depends on how long the songs are. but you should have more room on it the 4 gig should hold up to1,000 songs.

I went through the same thing and all they answers are correct. You will never have full amount of space due to os.

well the songs might just take up a ton of room or it is a bug. I would take it to the apple store for a checkup

that sounds about right, the ipods operating softwere takes a lottle memory

no, some of the storage space is used for system files.

no because it has all thoes sample games and things loaded on it when you buy it.
