Yesterday my old iPod Nano froze up. I was trying to update the podcats I listen to and when I put it in the dock the Apple showed up on the screen and didn’t go away. I’ve tried everything that is suggested on the support site but nothing has worked. I considered taking it to the Genius bar at the Apple store but didn’t care to wait in line. I’ve had this Nano for awhile and have considered getting a new one. So once the old Nano died yesterday I decided to look into the new ones. I thought about getting the new Shuffle but I really like having a display to see what is playing and being able to select different things to listen to. I really like the red color of the new one and can feel good knowing that some of the sale will go towards the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. So today I went ahead and ordered a new red Nano. It will probably take a week or so to get here. Until it arrives I’ll be using my older, clunky 20 gig color iPod.

Of course next week Steve Jobs will probably introduce a new iPod.
