My old iPod (60GB video) went missing for about a week at precisely the same time my boyfriend was desperately looking for Christmas present ideas for me, so he bought me this fancy new iPod. Much to his chagrin, I discovered that in all of the holiday hullabaloo, my old iPod had simply fallen into a dresser drawer. Of course this was AFTER the item had been ordered and personalized.

So on Christmas, I opened up my new iPod Classic 160GB, slightly puzzled about why I needed a new iPod when my old one worked just fine. I came up with a segmentation strategy about which activities I would use my new iPod for and which ones I would use my old iPod, but once I discovered all of the new features built in, I put the old iPod back in the dresser drawer...

Undoubtedly, my favorite feature is that "genius" is built right in! Which means I can have my iPod create a playlist for me on the fly. At the gym, at my desk at work, in the car, all I have to do is pick the "root" song, and voila, 25 songs of listening enjoyment.

Another feature I love is the "search" feature - right on my iPod, I can search by title of song and it will find it for me. Or if I hold down the enter button, it gives me options to browse the current song album or artist - which is awesome because it doesn't require me to go back to the main menu and search by whichever I'm wanting to look at.

So, while I didn't think I needed it, I sure wouldn't want to live without it now.
