My iPod battery is dying…

My iPod battery is slowly dying. I’ve had it for over 3 years now, and I use it almost every day so it’s not surprising. Apparently you can get the battery replaced for around $40-50 which isn’t bad. You can do it yourself for cheaper, but I’m not about to mess with the inside of the iPod because I have no idea what I’m doing.

I really want to get the iPod Touch (since my hopes of getting the iPhone have been dashed), but it’s super flashy and I wouldn’t want it to get stolen when traveling. Plus I hate how you have to use the touch screen. At least with my current iPod, you can use the click wheel to do everything, and you don’t even need to take it out of your pocket to switch songs or change the volume. But, the Touch does have really cool features and it looks awesome.

The Shuffle is out of the questions. The Nano is pretty cool (I love all the colour selections), but 16 GB isn’t enough for me. I already have over 18 GB worth of music … and the Classic is nice, but that’s what I have already I’d like to have something a bit different perhaps.

So, I guess I’ll just run this iPod battery into the ground and then figure out what to do when the time comes. I had budgeted buying a new iPod for the trip, so hopefully it’ll last me until next year.
