I treated myself today.

You may or may not be aware that Apple have released new generation iPods (I refer specifically to the Nano here though) with wide screens and new interfaces.

After a year of dithering, I decided to purchase a new iPod that had a smaller capacity than my previous 20G iPod (which shall hence forth live in my car, again).

It had completely not occurred to me that the new iPods had been released or how this would affect my purchase.

Anyway, I made my mind up to at least get a wall charger for the 20G iPod because the battery ran flat from using it (out of the car) yesterday.

I had previously donated my wall charger to my brother (as his smaller capacity and cheaper iPod didn't come with one) because my 20G iPod was living in my car and charging off the car battery ...

Anyway, the whole point is, I bought the charger because I will need it either way. But I also went and bought a 4G Nano but of the old variety (i.e. not wide screen video with new interface). This is because I find the older style more attractive (tall, narrow, slim as opposed to short, wide, slim). I also don't feel the need for wide screen video capability.

It was cheaper, reduced due to the arrival on the market of the new generation iPods and is being phased out. Unfortunately I couldn't find an 8G black iPod ... but 4G and white iPod is nice enough. Also, it's probably more than enough capacity for a day to day, week to week use =D

Plus my car can hold the 20G iPod which will hold all of my music - I can take it out and use it if I need to.

So, I spoiled myself, a little bit. Yay =D Gosh, retail therapy can feel so nice sometimes.
