i had the g3 ipod the 3rd generation and well i dropped it down the stairs then went and got another one , then 2 months later the g4 came out and i was amazed by it , 12 hours of battery life , i have it on almost all day everywhere i go i have it on ha , but its a rapper, rocker, pop stars best friend , i got the 40 gig it was 400 or 500 bucks i dont know i didnt buy it but its an amazing mp3 player best money can buy if i say so myself , with its organizer , notes, new games its hard to not be bored. its easy to use and can be used in school , instead of taking my laptop to class i'll jus take my pod instead , but yea what do you all think about the new ipods? yea i know sorta computer dorky but i love new gadgets , i highly suggest you all go out and get it , its worth every penny (1600 songs on mine right now)
