iPod Shufflin'

We didn't even own an MP3 player until this past summer, but yesterday I really set foot into into the iPod age. I'm not a huge music fan. I enjoy listening to songs I like at times, but it's not my favorite thing to do. So why spend $200 on an 8 GB iPod Touch if I'm not that into music?

I really wanted an iPhone. But our cell phones are only $10 a month each, and they do what we need them to do. I guess I reasoned that since I'm not going to spend ALL that extra money on an iPhone I could get the next best thing.

The MP3 player we had before is a Dell with a 20 GB hard drive in it. I got it for $35 online last summer. It's fine, but tends to freeze up when we jog with it. The iPod shouldn't have this problem. Although, it was expensive enough that I will probably be afraid to jog with it.

I really miss having simple access to the Internet when we travel. The iPod Touch has a gorgeous little web browser built in that connects easily to wifi hotspots. That's what I really wanted.

And it plays songs too.
