Free iPod, III

I finally got my free iPod yesterday. It did take a whole lot of time from start to finish, but I did eventually get it with no money out of my pocket. I didn’t take pictures, so you’ll just have to take my word for it.

My first impressions of it are kinda mixed. It’s much thinner but actually has a slightly bigger footprint than my old 20gb. It didn’t come with a dock or wired remote, and the power/USB/Firewire cables it came with aren’t quite long enough for my setup. With the dock/power connector on the bottom instead of the top, I’ll have to find some way to charge it while it’s sitting in my cup holder in my car. I also need to get a new car adapter, anyway. Given all that, though, I absolutely love the clickwheel instead of the buttons around the wheel on my old one. I like the thinner form factor. I like that it pauses itself when I pull the headphones out (but, unfortunately, not when I turn my car off – that would be awesome). I like that I can have the clicker sounds from the scroll wheel only come through the headphones. All in all, I’m pretty happy about it.

Scam or actual offer?
For as long as I can remember the internet has been home to certain scams. Every day I get hundreds of emails promising free digital cameras, Cialis, Viagra, racy pictures of Joe Garnet with farm animals if only I…
