My tiny friend!

I just wanted to write about a new little friend I have. Actually I have had it for quit awhile. Back in Oct. Reka and I had our apartment robbed and they basically took everything of value; including 2 iPod's, Powerbook, digital rebel, and just about everything else that we worked hard for. We have slowly started to replace everything that was taken like our new Macbook Pro. While not having enough money for a new iPod I was happy to find the iPod Shuffle. This mp3 player is smaller than a matchbook! You can easily fit up to 250 songs on it and then you just clip it to your clothes or in my case, backpack strap. The best thing about it is when you are hiking or ridding and you want to adjust volume or change songs you don't have to dig it out of your pocket or backpack! I used to hike up with a 60GB 3rd Generation iPod and although smaller than the walkman I always had issues with it skipping from body movement and it felt a bit cumbersome in my pocket. With the new iPod Shuffle I find myself forgetting where it is! This is a hiker and riders new best friend! Oh yeah, if your an alpine climber and worry about every ounce that you take with you the iPod Shuffle is only 0.55 ounces! Now you don't have to cut your toothbrush in half just trade in you music player for the iPod Shuffle. Did I mention the 12 hour battery life!
