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The chiclet no longer exists, having been replaced by some little tiny touchscreen thing that I find confusing.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 had the exact same problem - my old mini finally got so broken I was willing to spend the $$ for a new one, and when I went the store the old mini was gone, replaced by something so tiny and touch-screen-y as to be unusable - and I also loathe touchscreens.

In the end i settled on a (non-touchscreen) classic. It's larger, and heavier, but the sudden luxury of having ALL of music ALL the time has been worth it.
