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The chiclet no longer exists, having been replaced by some little tiny touchscreen thing that I find confusing.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?

Maybe going to an Apple store or what-have-you and playing with a Touch might be a good idea, just to see if they work with your circulation or body temperature issues. Because a) I think it will soon be impossible to avoid touch screen phones and music players, and b) the Touch is a fun little device. I had the first generation Touch, which I loved. I could access the internet over wi-fi, play games, watch videos, and I even had apps for bus schedules and movie times. It's like having a little computer in your pocket, and, to me, very futuristic and cool. I also find that the menus are pretty easy to figure out, if that is still a worry for you.

I upgraded to an iPhone last year (love!), and gave the Touch to my husband, and he went from "Meh, that's too much technology for me" to "I love this thing!" in about three days. He thought it would be too big and bulky (especially for running) but he quickly got over the size (which is not much bigger from his old Nano, which is the same as the one you had).
