Something I love about using my iPod regularly again is I’ve got a little island of OS X Tiger with me. No matter what my computer OS looks like, I’ve got a little bit of that classic blue and gradients with me.

@misty Mobile devices really peaked right there.

@AmyZenunim They're just such great devices. Still really nice to use, and so easy to mod.

@AmyZenunim @misty 5th gens really are the perfect iPods.

I have the last one, the "Classic", which, don't get me wrong, 120GB from the factory is pretty sweet, but it really is my least favourite of the full-fat iPods. It's noticeably laggy, and the click wheel is kinda complete trash.

The sound quality is also noticeably not great, and I'm not even a golden-eared audio snob (320kbps is fine by me, lol)

@AmyZenunim @misty I gotta say though, I was very impressed to find that mine still holds a charge after about a decade in various junk drawers/boxes, and the original disk is still going strong somehow.

@misty I was thinking yesterday I hadn't yet bothered to look into replacing the battery on my iPod video (which I also can't find, it's somewhere in the office). Got my iPhone battery replaced at the Apple Store and for a few hours only had my 6th Gen nano to entertain me

@misty apropos, did you see that "in defense of pixels" talk that was floating around the last few days? Highly recommend it if not.

@misty I still got mine. Its screen is messed up and the battery probably lasts like 15 minutes total.

@misty I’ve got a modded classic but the 5th gen is peak Apple.
