An iPod Christmas for me, too
As for me, I “gave” myself my first iPod as an early Christmas present. Up until now I’ve happily listened to my music on my laptop, but as my air travel has picked up again and it’s a royal pain to use a laptop on short haul flights in coach, I’ve seen more and more need for a dedicated digital audio player. And thanks to security theater, an iPod is more useful than a cellpod for US domestic air travel IMO.
So what did I get? A shiny black 8GB Nano (no, it wasn’t a Shuffle) which nicely holds just about my entire music collection plus an iSkin for protection and a pair of Sony MDR-NC6 headphones for a little bit of entry-level noise canceling love.
I guess if I’m any indication, it was indeed a very iPod Christmas.
[...] Will MacWorld’s big “one more thing” finale also be a mobile masterpiece? Will my Nano soon have an Apple Phone in its circle of friends? Or will everyone who’s been speculating and betting and babbling be really, really disappointed? [...]

[...] To me, this says there’s a third use case, one describing customers interested in maximizing their Internet capabilities with a second always available channel that supplements those times when they haul out the “big iron” PC or Mac. If it keeps its promises, iPhone’s 3.5 inch screen and Web browsing interface could solve my small, instant on, mobile Internet access device needs while maintaining my Nano’s music chops and my phone’s call capabilities.

My favorite iPod accessory: Kensington Pico FM Transmitter…
I bought myself a Kensington Pico FM Transmitter so I could listen to my Nano tunes sans cables in my car.
It’s a simple transmitter, it uses the iPod’s power so no battery or recharging of the Pico is required, and it just works.
