the replacement

Last month I got an e-mail from Apple saying that my first generation iPod nano was being recalled. They said that the battery could over heat and catch on fire and they were going to replace it! The thing was more the five years old and only had a 2g hard drive.

Apple didn't say what they would replace it with... did they have a stockpile of the originals with better batteries that they would send out to the masses? I mailed the old thing back to them and yesterday my replacement arrived...

A new 8g nano, the most current version! My only worry is that it is so darn small that I might lose it...

The iPod on the left was John's and it's 3 years old and that is about the size of my old one... look how tiny the new one is! It does have some cool features... like a pedometer and a clock that you can change the face on...

There are 18 different clock faces including Minnie & Mickey and Kermit the frog! I must say I am impressed that Apple replaced a well used iPod that spent lots of time in clay studios with the newest version and a bigger hard drive. It feels like I got a bonus Christmas present :-).
