My iPod died today while thrusting about in the frenzied Atlanta traffic. I’m lucky I didn’t get into an accident trying to reset the state of the device while holding down the menu and play options.
No luck. It’s completely dead. It was doing really weird things since the last firmware update dated 2006-01-10. If I actively initiated what appears to be a suspend operation by holding the play option down, it would not power back up without being connected to my PC.
But this time it’s done. The PC nor any other source of power revives my fallen friend. We’ve been through a lot together. Farewell.
My only challenge now is deciding on another device. (How quickly we move on?) Do I get another iPod or do I venture out and get something else?

dude! get something else? LIKE What? An IPOD is too easy….be faithful, stick with it!
I’ve got an old walkman you can have
Of course go for another iPod …. but no hurry …
There are too much rumors for something that are much more interesting than that shown on MacWorld in Jan 06 ….
BTW,
My faithful 2nd Gen 10G iPod is dying too …
I will put it a hold for any new purchase at the moment …
Anyway, I still do not my iPod is really dead and I still hope there is a way to resurrect it …
