Ooo, shiny!

The girls have their new 80 GB iPods.

They are very happy.

I have a new larger 160GB iPod (my old one was a 30 GB).

I am very happy, too.

I'm sure you'll all have fun!

I got my first portable-music-player ever three months ago (a 4GB iPod nano). I love it. But it is full. And the person I'd been planning to hand it down to when I was ready for a bigger one was so impressed by my gushing about it that she bought one herself already. I guess I need to re-organize my playlists more often.

Another neat gadget is a headphone-splitter cable, so that two people can plug into one iPod and share music on the bus or wherever. Our camp kids used those a lot.

Oooh, sounds shiny! Have fun filling it up!

Very cool. Have fun!

I have an 8G and a 30G player, and I've decided that even the 8G is plenty. Even a 160 wouldn't hold all my music, so all I really need is enough for a week's listening or so. I resync at least once a week to load up new podcasts and swap music out anyway.

I'm not an Apple dude either. I really need an FM radio; I listen to it about 1/4 of the time at least (NPR). I'm continually baffled as to why Apple doesn't put an FM radio in the iPods; I bet the chip to do it would cost about 50 cents. All I can figure is that they want to sell it for $50 instead of $5.

Ah well, variety is the spice of life. Competition is good.

Oh wonderful!

I'm betting they can't stop smiling -- I hope you get/got pictures :)

Wow. I don't think I have 160 Gig worth of music.

Do you find these small enough to use while working out? I have an older 60GB one that's a bit bulky, and a small 4GB one that's great for workouts but it would be nice if I could just dump all my music plus books on it as I can with the big one.

(I know, we're all spoiled. The least of these is much smaller than an original Walkman, let alone a transistor radio.)
