I want a new iPod!
I only have the 3G iPod and I love the way the new click wheel iPod looks, but my mom won't let me have another one. GRRR What do I do. :( I was thinking about waiting for the new 5G but that will nprobably take forever to come.

# 3 Re: I want a new iPod!
sell your 3G and get some more money to buy a 4G.

# 4 Re: I want a new iPod!
Yeah, be patient. You don't have that big of a music collection it seems so far, but by the time 5Gs come out you might need an upgrade.

# 5 Re: I want a new iPod!
Just be grateful you have an iPod. I got my 3G about 2 weeks before the 4G came out, but i'm gonna stick it because it works great, looks great, and i don't think the 4G is worth an upgrade. I'll probably wait until the 5G comes out.

# 6 Re: I want a new iPod!
oh no. You "only" have a 3G. Whatever will you do without the latest and greatest toy? It's not like your iPod works perfectly fine as it is.
:rolleyes:
# 7 Re: I want a new iPod!
Yeah don't get greedy.
Boy do I love my 40gb 4G. j/k. I do love it though.
# 8 Re: I want a new iPod!
lol didn't mean to offend.
# 9 Re: I want a new iPod!
I have a 3g too, I would like a new one as well but I am going to be patient about it and wait until I need a new one(battery dies or something), I think I'll wait until all ipods come with a colour screen(it's bound to happen).

No one's offended, it's just riddiculous to want the latest and greatest gadget when you've got a perfectly good, functioning unit that's only marginally inferior to the 4G (in some people's opinions; I think the 3G has a much better aesthetic). When (or if) your iPod breaks or is stolen, then you can look longingly at the 4G. Until then, be happy for what you have

# 13 Re: I want a new iPod!
What about someone with a 1G? I hope to get a new 4G for christmas this year. Is that being greedy?
p.s.: It isn't recognized by my computer anymore, Battery life is getting very bad. Hope this sways you.:)
# 14 Re: I want a new iPod!
I didn't really mean being greedy, I mean, if you have a 1G fair enough, but the 3G and 4G are practically the same, but I do hope you get a new iPod, you'll love the 4G.
# 15 Re: I want a new iPod!
600 songs, why do you need a bigger ipod? i gave my little sister my 3G ipod and she has more songs than you, guess shes cooler :\
# 16 Re: I want a new iPod!
LOL I use to have more but I deleted the songs that I really didn't like.

get a job
# 18 Re: I want a new iPod!
I have a 3G 10GB and am also looking for an upgrade.. But I am thinking of getting a 3G 30GB as I just need a larger HDD to house my music.. I did not like the clickwheel design and overall dislike the 4G iPod so I'm sticking with a 3G to tide me over until the 5G release..
Just wait it out you have a fine product.

# 19 Re: I want a new iPod!
dunno about you Doug but the extra battery life was enough to sell me on the 4G. plus the clickwheel isnt so bad once you get used to it, i like the compactness of it (if thats a word).

# 21 Re: I want a new iPod!
If I had 600 songs I wouldn't find the need to waste money on a 4g.

# 22 Re: I want a new iPod!
Seriously. I have a 3G 20 gig, and personally, and I don't mean to start anything here, I like it better than the 4G. There aren't that many features that I would need from the 4G, and pure asthetics, I like the 3G better...
Be happy with what you have. There are starving children in Africa... :p
# 23 Re: I want a new iPod!
i personally hate the click wheel design, the only reason i picked the 4g was because of the longer battery life. i like the 3g scroll wheel i think it was a mistake on apples part to replace the scroll wheel with the click wheel, just becasue the mini has it ugh :(

Four more hours is hardly enough to tempt me to spend another $430 CDN. I charge it everynight anyways so those four hours would not do very much for me anyways...

# 25 Re: I want a new iPod!
yeah come on. wait AT LEAST like two years or something. it's all about the music anyway, and you only have 600 songs. i have more than 4 days of music on my ipod and i still havent reached 7 GB. there ARE starving kids in africa and all over, even in n.america, europe, or wherever you are. sell your 3G iPod, give the money to charity, and buy a 4G iPod. then you can get the 4G, feel good about it, and your mommy will say you did good.
lol
# 26 Re: I want a new iPod!
There was a time when I had to have the latest and greatest gadgets. But I'm a bit older now, and I learnt to 'make do' with what I had... besides, I have to buy these things myself with my own money and there comes a time when things like a new kitchen or bathroom or car become more important than a 40 gig music player.
Also, I don't know quite what I'd do with 40 or even 20 gigs worth of space... I have nearly 900 tracks which represents - oh I dunno - 75% of my CDs... and some of these I just don't listen to anymore (mostly 80s nonsense).

# 27 Re: I want a new iPod!
It's just the way it is with technology. I just bought an awesome 2000 dollar ThinkPad, but like anything else, when you get it home, something new comes out.
You just gotta buy what you want when you want it, then use it until it's broken or ridiculously obsolete.
I'll keep my 3G till something really awesome comes out, and I'll keep my ThinkPad for a least 3-5 years.
# 28 Re: I want a new iPod!
i hear you 3G'ers, the 3G ipod is awesome, the only reason i got the 4G was because my sister wanted one so i was like, take my 3G and i'll get one of the 4Gs because i can use the extra battery life and the extra 5 gigs. besides that i was content with the 3G, the design is still the best.
