- Is it me, or do the iPod Nanos now look like iPod Minis? I liked the look of the older version.

- I returned my 4 gigger last night, since I had had it less than 30 days. I think I will get the shuffle just because it's so freaking small, I can clip it onto my clothing and can use the short headphone cable with my Sony earbuds, and I like to listen to music on shuffle anyway. I'll probably get an 80 gigger as well, because they finally make one large enough to hold all of my music. Besides, I love games like Bejeweled and Zuma.
