I see an Ipod in the near future for myself. With the new updates to the Apple Ipod, I can't see any reason to put off buying an Ipod. The battery life has been improved (now able to last up to twelve hours), the dialing jog has been updated (now clickable), and the price has dropped ($100 difference!). If you have been putting off getting an Ipod check out the new model

An interesting side-note, Duke University is in talks to provide each incoming new student with an iPod, or an iPod mini. Duke will hand out approximately 1,800 iPods that will be pre-loaded with Duke-related content and will allow students to download supplementary university material in addition to being able to play music.
