Dead as a doornail *updated!*

This is my kind of Saturday. I crawled out of bed at 9:45 a.m., the coffee was made, within minutes Brian had made two waffles and served them with orange juice. Pregnancy definitely has it's perks.

Now to the sad, horrifying news. My 4 GB iPod is dead. (you know, the one I got for free???) Like Dead. Totally Dead. Up and gone to heaven dead.

The last we listened to it was in the car during Christmas, then it sat in the car, where it died.

I brought it into the house a few weeks ago and went to the Apple site where they tell you all sorts of tips and tricks (think CPR, defibrillators, ICU, etc.) to bring your iPod back to life.

But nothing worked.

So, Brian took it to the Apple Doctor yesterday. (where they require an appointment and everything and just like the doctor's office, there was even a wait.) The doctor determined that somewhere along the way, my precious, pink iPod became wet which corroded it's insides.

There was nothing they could do.

They did offer the same model iPod to Brian for $100, but he declined knowing that his wife (me) would probably want to go ahead and upgrade, and why wouldn't she? She's a wise-tech savvy gal.

So now the question is: how tech savvy am I?

Do I go with the 8 GB iPod to listen to music, podcasts, add some pictures and maybe even watch movies?

OR for another $100, do I really upgrade with the 8 GB iPod Touch? Where I can store pictures, get WIFI, (where available), utilize a full organizing calendar, have an address book, maps, calculator, games and listen to music. Just to name a few of the features....

But do I need all of that? Why wouldn't I?

What's a tech savvy girl to do?

By the way, if you are wondering how tech savvy I really am, if you were to ask me how big a gig was, I would tell you it depended on how popular the band was.

So, I'm not that tech savvy.

*UPDATED HERE!* I'll have you know that after I typed out this post listing the features and benefits of the Touch, I knew I had to have.

All the way, baby. My next one (when I figure out a way to make mine die forever) will be the touch screen. Our daughter has one (my husband, in a moment of insanity which he continues to pay for to this very day) gave her the touch screen instead of giving her mine and giving ME the touch...can you even imagine????!!!! Anyway...it's really cool and does it all. I say go for it. You deserve it...you are carrying your husband's identical twin boys! You'll need the one handed ease of the touch screen!

iPhone or iPod Touch or you'll be missing out. I'm in my daughters' room now playing Game Cube and leaving this comment from my iPhone. It's a computer in the palm of your hand. iPod Touch has Wi-fi too. You have to use them constantly or it's not healthy for them. Got an iPod ?, just ask me, I'm an addict.

I don't have any helpful tips on which ipod to choose because I am so tech saavy, I don't even know what the heck a gig is!! I just came to offer my condolensces ( I seriously can't even remember how to spell that word right now!) . . . I just came here to offer my support (that word I can spell!!) on the loss of your precious ipod.
