The iZombie Dies Again

[kybearfuzz]

Nothing like packing for a trip to DC and trying to load up new music only to find my iZombie has kicked the bucket again. After trying for over an hour, I'm not sure I can resurrect it again using non-magical means.

So the question is what kind of iPod should I replace it with? My iPod Shuffle, while cute, just doesn't have the capacity for podcasts and audiobooks I usually load up for travel. Should I go after an iPod Touch? The internet function would be nice, but I'd probably only get the 16 GB as I change music often. If I'm only after the music part, maybe an iPod Classic or even an iPod Mini? iZombie is a 2003 model and has a 20 GB capacity that I never reached, so a smaller one might be suitable.

Opinions? Suggestions? There is an Apple Store near my DC hotel, so I may buy one while I'm gone.

The touch would be a great flashy gadget -- although not one you want to take to the gym -- but if you're looking to save money, check out a refurb nano or classic at the online Apple Store. They are a great deal.

I like the idea of buying a refurbished model, but they are really strange about their shipping. I had to have my iZombie sent off for repair in the past and it took an act of God to get it back as they wouldn't leave it at my address unless someone is there to sign for it. Naturally every time they delivered was during work hours when I was never home.
