One of those puppies (1GB) can hold over 15 hours of music (although only 4 hours of power).

I thought it was 12. Though I've never used it for more than 2 or 3.

It also strikes me as an impressive thing to show someone from hundreds of years ago. It's so simple -- Music. In here. Listen.

It's also pretty impressive to people now. Mostly because it's tiny and the sound quality is excellent. People at the bar were listening to it, and even at a relatively low volume you could hear it over the blaring jukebox.

Yeah, the Shuffle has appeal for me the regular iPod doesn't, because I'm both cheap and not a completist.

But, the Mini comes in colors!!

Hee. You think like I do. But I'm thinking if I end up getting one, I'll get my sister or someone more artsy than me to go to town on it with nail polish or something. That would work, right?

I bet he doesn't mind that at all.

Well, he's currently freaking out. I've tried restoring him, but I dunno. Maybe he's coming down from the smackfarthing.

Oooooh! Down on Venice Beach, there's a vendor that will custom paint your cellphone. It's beautiful work. I wonder if she'd do a shuffle.

Reading through the last 400 posts has left me with only one question: what kind of iPod would Jesus own?

Jesus could make a shuffle hold every song ever recorded. (eta: but he'd probably want a mini because they are so darn cute)

Jesus would own a U2 iPod, because even Jesus thinks Bono is cool.

The battery in Jesus' iPod would last forever.

If you gave Jesus a Shuffle, he'd be able to make it display photos.

He's got mad skillz like that.
