talk to me about iPods

[rm]

I had a generation 3 silver chiclet before the theft.

I loved it. It was light, but I could still feel if I had it or not, and it didn't have a touch screen (I hate fucking touch screens).

The chiclet no longer exists, having been replaced by some little tiny touchscreen thing that I find confusing. The shuffle is a no go. I hate the iTouch (and dude, if I'm going to go there, I'd get an iPhone which doesn't work on my carrier). So do I need to go with the Classic? Is there any benefit to ordering an old chiclet and a slightly reduced cost.

I feel like I get so much more bang for the buck with the new models, eventhough they are all bigger and heavier than I want or have the scary touch screen factor.

Weigh in?

I like Shuffles for audiobooks, though now I'm mostly reading e-books, I still have a lot of them. Set them to play in order and they work well for audiobooks.

The classic isn't big, but more than once I've made the mistake of thinking I had my phone with me when it was really my iPod. It's smaller than the phone, granted. It's just that I'm carrying around a lot of stuff.

My personal favorite of the Nanos are the earlier squarer ones as they fit nicely in credit card slots in wallets. I have three of those.

Eventually, when I find them all, I should get a gallery of my iPods because I have many of the models from the third gen original on. My first gen original I gave to my mother, then to my husband, and unfortunately it was stolen from him at work one day.
