I am now the proud owner of an iPod (3rd generation) 20Gb. Its just quite simply fantastic. Yeah, you can buy cheaper imitations, but they are just that, imitations.
Its by far the slimmest device, thanks to the use of the new 1.8" hdd from toshiba, and seamlessly integrates with USB on my pc.
My next plan is to get hold of the iTrip, essentially, an FM transmitter, which allows me to be my own personal pirate radion station on the move ;-). The reality is that i can hook it up to my car-radio and tune it in.. More on that once ive gotten it working...
