the ipod is one of the greatest stoner toys I've ever owned. I'll be hanging out with people and really want to chill out and hear some music so I pop on the ipod and just chill .. it's great .... but yes, I agree with y'all .. the ipod is the shit. I had a 40gb 3rd gen but it died ... took a long drop and a sudden stop off a bench ... now I have a shuffle that I'm soon going to replace with either a Nano or a 80Gb if they get released next tuesday. (rumors are saying they might)
