My seven year old iPod was getting unreliable - the headphone jack was giving out and frustrating. Fixing it was too difficult so I lucked out and was given a new iPod nano for my birthday. It is amazing how small the thing is - almost too small, but it is still very usable and excellent for exercising.
Amazingly my original iPod (day one) still works. I've replaced the battery a few times, but it still works although I only use it to remind myself of older tech. I love the feel of the old mechanical scroll wheel.
Amen. While touchscreen interfaces and keyboards have come a long way there is nothing like the friendly feel of mechanical controls. And of course the comfort of lead weights in modern consumer electronic gadgetry.
