Nice story by the New   York Times’ Rob Walker on the history of the iPod, two years old this month.   I have to say after initial skepticism I’m a convert, whisking it around with me   on forays to the jogging track, the pool, and the car.
There have, however, been rumblings of complaint about the battery:   One user says he was given short shrift by Apple when his died after 18 months,   being told it would be cheaper for him to buy a new iPod. I’m waiting for a   response from Apple on this one.
