I’ve been wanting to buy an iPod for a while, but just couldn’t justify it. $250-$300 to listen to music? Ack. Plus, of course, the fact that I’d mostly want to listen while jogging and can’t quite believe that a mobile hard drive would take the necessary punishment over the long term.

Thus when the shuffle came out I was instantly interested. It’s a much more reasonable price. Plus, a flash drive doesn’t have moving parts. That makes me feel more comfortable about running with it.

I went to the Apple store tonight and ordered one. Now all I have to do is wait a month for it to arrive.
