I crashed while riding my bike. The screen was broken and I thought about throwing it away. I found a guy on the web in Dayton OHio who repairedc it for 30 dollars.

I thought this was going to be a funny article. Actually, pretty sensible and usable.

Hell, I still use my Palm Zire to play old-time radio shows and pretty much for nothing else. I needed a player like that when you're listening to half-hour or even 60-minute) shows.

For some reason, I’m remembering the Corona commercial where the guy’s sitting on the beach, drinking a beer and skipping stones...and then his pager goes off...

Is there any sort of program to donate used iPods and similar devices to servicemen?

I love my 80G iPod. I have barely used up 20G of the storage on it.

My son’s band doesn’t have a drummer so they use the iPod to run drum tracks through the sound system.

Look over the advice, I know you have at least 6 ipods.

That's a very kind thought. I rarely see a military member here in Iraq without an iPod or some MP3 player, though. A few of them have Zunes and claim that they are far superior. We banter about that as I listen to my iPod. ;-)

Very useful info I’m sure....I’ll save it for hubby. However for me, the techno-challenged, parts of it could have been written in a foreign language for all I could understand :-)

Very interesting.

I have a 30GB Video ipod, and my dad just gave me a ipod touch, but with only 8GB.

The touch is WAY cooler and has wireless as well, with a rather decent web browser. I've been reading FR from my easy chair while watching movies with my family.

Lots of awesome games and apps also.

They are not kidding when they call it the funnest ipod ever. I even got a inclinometer/bubble level app for it.

The only downside is it will not hold all my music, so I have to be selective in what I sync.

Thanks for the info! It's really great to hear that. I know being deployed is a completely different way of life and you never know what comforts they're missing. :\

Since they come from all different backgrounds and we don't pay them nearly what they're worth (I'd like to swap their pay scale with that of our elected officials), I thought there might be a need for that kind of thing. :)

You can use your old Zune to replace the rock you use to keep papers from blowing off your desk.

I don't have a band so I use the iPod to run band tracks through the sound system.

Those guys can really play.
