Joining the iPod Crowd

Last night my wife surprised me with an early Christmas present (a video iPod). She found a great deal on www.edealinfo.com and unfortunately had to have me decide by today whether or not to keep it in order to get the rebate in time.

You betcha I'm keeping it :). I may be a first time owner (and user) to an iPod, but I use iTunes for all my MP3s and podcasts. So as soon as I got the iPod drivers installed and restarted iTunes it immediately started downloading all of my songs and videos (podcasts). An hour or so later (yeah, I have a lot of media files) I was in business.

Now, I may have never used an iPod (seriously. I've never even tried one), but I can safely say that the people at Apple know what they're doing. It took me a whole 10 seconds to figure it out. Sure, there are plenty of things I'm going to need to learn (features and other benefits), but I'm still amazed at how quickly I was able to start playing my media without having to read a manual.
