<p>some idiot stole my ipod mini ... which i was very attached to.
my dad got a free shuffle from his work ... which i listened to, but i like keeping all my music, so i hated the storage.<br>
and i recently got a video, i hardly listen to it as much as i listened to my mini.</p>
<p>"OMG MINE IS TOO!!!!!!! LITERALLY, MY IPOD IS NAMED STEVE!!!!!!!!!!!"</p>
<p>AHHH! They're long-lost twins!!! You made my day. It makes me smile to think that, yes, there ARE other people who name their ipods Steve =)</p>
<p>But... sadly... Steve died today. I was running on my treadmill... picked him up... and then he split in two!!! Luckily, with my amazing geeky skills, I managed to put all of the tiny metal pieces back in the right places... but the click wheel still doesn't work (you can select things, but it doesn't scroll). I can still KIND of use it, but I can't adjust the volume, so it's permanently loud =( I'm hoping that when I come home tonight, Steve will have magically healed himself...</p>
<p>aww.</p>
<p>Hermes is doing great. I think he gave me a headache though on the bus. I really shouldn't try watching Moulin Rouge while already nauseous.</p>
<p>...and he's only a baby.</p>
<p>lesOs- steve can be replaced for only $80. Just go to the apple store and say the battery is dead. Oh and by the way that you described it it sounds like you have a 4th gen, not a 3rd. You have a click wheel?</p>
<p>I love my ipod. Seriously.</p>
<p>I have 2 and I love the new shuffle.</p>
<p>all the cool people have them.</p>
<p>The sound quality just isn't there for me. I use real headphones (Sennheiser HD650s) and the iPod just doesn't have the power to drive them. Then again, I usually listen on a <em>very</em> expensive, audiophile grade system.</p>
<p>I think iPods make people anti-social...you just put your phones in and tune out the rest of the world. Do you really need to listen to music for that 3 minute walk across campus or while you're grocery shopping? I listen to music more than anyone I know, probably 6 hours a day, and even I don't feel the need to hear it when I'm buying my Rice Krispies.</p>
<p>I'm in love with mine. I've got two of them now. I've had my 4th gen. U2 iPod, Belvedere, for a few years now, but a) it was getting pretty cratched up and 2) my computer crashed, and if I would've plugged it back in to upload new songs I would've lost 2500 songs that I didn't have saved elsewhere, so I got a new green Nano last month, Napoleon.</p>
<p>Personally, I'm a huge fan of the Nano. It's not hard to cut it down to 1000 songs you REALLY listen to, and it's small enough to take with me when I go running.</p>
<p>I only use my ipod when I'm doing homework, on a long car trip, or running. Otherwise, I play music out of speakers. I'm not one of the people who listens to their ipod in between classes, etc.</p>
<p>Oh. Maybe I do have a 4th gen. ipod. I bought it off of eBay, and the seller said it was 3rd generation... but it was EBAY, so that info probably isn't too reliable =)</p>
<p>I would feel so sad trading in Steve. Actually, I've already traded in Steve- my ipod now is Steve II (I didn't have to pay any money- they just took my old ipod and gave me a new one!). It would be pretty pathetic if I had to move on to Steve III. I'm an ipod killer... ah!</p>
<p>haha..i'm on Steve II as well. Steve I's battery decided to die on me so i had to get it replaced. I decided since i was spending $80 on a new ipod i should go ahead and buy an ihome while i was at the store. Little did i know the black ones don't work with 3rd gens so i'm pretty much screwed as far as stereo's go. </p>
<p>Speaking of batteries dying, I think i need to get a Kevin II. My laptop used to hold 4 hours of battery power. It now holds a half hour. Same with my phone. It used to hold 3 days worth of charge, it now shuts off after about 6 hours.</p>
<p>Well, we can hold a virtual funeral for Steve II and Kevin II...</p>
<p>I have a blue iPod nano, and I have no idea what i would do without it. I love is SOOO much!</p>
<p>black video 30gb, and a 3rd gen that is extremely temperamental and only used for file storage nowadays (someday i'll get trudy fixed and be really oldschool)...can't live without the ipod. ahh.</p>
<p>Agh! I found a scratch on my iPod's screen. Darn manufacturers.</p>
<p>I?ve got a black ipod nano and i think there really usefull for studying and reading. I think ipod nanos are better than video because they are smaller, more comftorble and preatier.</p>
<p>I hate ipod they are the worse</p>
<p>i love ipods especially video!</p>
<p>I have a mini Ipod (yeah they're gone now), I got it almost two years ago and I have to say it's lasted. The battery still lasts for a good amount of time, the songs still play, nothing freezes, great condition!</p>
<p>i-pods are the best invention. It is helpful for many things like school, airplanes, etc. I have the nano but I wish I had bought the video because I cant put any more of my music.</p>
