I got 80G ipod classic in silver. I was hesitant about spending three hundred dollars on an mp3 player, but now that I have it I’d say its money well spent. I have years and years worth of priceless lectures on physics and other topics of interest saved on my ipod (thanks to the itunes university), providing me with hours of joy and learning while on the go. I also have a bit of movies and a season or two of some of my favorite TV shows…

Ipod seem to be going beyond the realm of simple mp3 player on the road to becoming the modern vellum. Maybe in the distant future people would play our leftover ipod in museums to gain insight into the zeitgeist of our era.
