iPod Transitions
Dave just went through the distress of losing his iPod, finding it, and apparently losing it again. I know how it feels. This Friday, I dropped my iPod while it was running, and it does nothing now but click and whir. Luckily all of my music, including several hundred dollars of purchased songs and books, was on the PC. I bought a new iPod yesterday and filled it back up last night. This time I got a mini like my wife has, rather than the 40GB. While it was nice to have my entire music collection on the iPod, I found that I never need more than 1000 songs available at a time anyway, and the mini just transports better.
I noted that both the Bellevue and Seattle Apple stores had only a few minis in colors other than pink. It seems that pink minis are a very popular gift for guys to buy for their girlfriends.
