I finally caved in and succumbed to the temptation of owning the style gadget de-siècle. I’ve ordered an iPod.
I was planning to get an iPod mini but then they brought out the lovely fourth generation iPod with that oh-so-nice scroll wheel (which is the bit I loved the most about the iPod mini). That clinched it for me: I just had to have one.
I saved myself a bit of money by ordering it through the US version of the Apple store. I’ll be in The States in a couple of weeks and hopefully my gadget will be waiting for me when I show up.
