My nano broke last week after I dropped it into Avery’s little pool when I was picking here up (slipped out of my shirt pocket after the bike ride home) and I sent it back to Apple today. Hopefully they wont notice the water damage and they’ll fix it. Otherwise I really don’t know what to do about a new one.

I’m currently using Sara’s pink iPod mini. It’s adequate but I really want my own again. I tried craigslist for the first time tonight and ebay has nothing. To make it more difficult I don’t know if I want a nano again or the video version. And then the rumors of the “true” video iPod and the 8gb upgrades to the nano.

I’m leaning toward a video ipod even if a nano is ideal for the bike rides because the video would come in handy for the GL TV show lunch hour :D .

    i warned you about listening to that damn thing on bike rides! keep your ears on the road, buddy!
  • I always listen to my headphones while riding; as long as you don't have it up too loud I think it's perfectly safe. It sounded like the damage was done after the bike ride, though, so it isn't necessarily related, other than perhaps being the reason why it was in that pocket.

    I agree, riding while listening can be safe if you can still hear your surroundings as well. I try to just listen to podcasts so they're not loud and speech has a lot of breaks.

    guess it's a good thing you guys wear helmets.
  • Dan
    Yes, helmets are better then not wearing headphones.

    the "waiting on new technology" conundrum could get you running in circles. for better or worse, I made the jump to the ipod video and then i saw this: http://www.nike.com/nikeplus/ and now i want the nano.
