Here’s a post all about iPods. Feel free to skip it :-)

We’ve got two iPods: Lib has a 3rd generation ‘big’ iPod and I have an iPod shuffle.

I find the 3rd generation iPod a bit hard to navigate, and not very responsive to key presses. It is slow enough to be annoying and I find it too heavy to take a lot of places. That’s why I bought myself a 512M Shuffle.

The shuffle is great. It works pretty much perfectly for my walk to and from work.

But more and more it is full of fairy stories and Tigger songs, as my daughter Bea really likes to be able to listen to her stuff, and I’m really happy to give her the shuffle because it is simple to work, she loves it, it is light and hard to break. By now, the neck cord on the shuffle is looking pretty dirty and the whol package is a bit less apple-worship pristine, if you know what I mean.

I’d love to fall in love with 3G iPod, but that isn’t going to happen. Too big, too heavy, too fragile.

I want my own iPod Mini. Oh bugger, Apple have got me again.
