Now, not only do I own an Apple Mac Mini, but I've just purchased something I swore I never would. I've bought an iPod Nano. I don't listen to music "on the go", I don't like headphones or ear plugs, and if I did, I'd want to be sure it played protected Windows' Media Audio (and/or video) files. ...so why the iPod?
Simple: it's the best digital device for tracking (and assistive training in) running habits when you also purchase the Nike+iPod kit. Supposedly, it doesn't work with any other model (and who'd want to have a 30GB model strapped to their arm?), and all the other competitive devices I've seen just don't quite measure up to this dynamic duo. It is an expensive thing, but when looking at someone's 2nd look at the device in action, I couldn't resist. The ability to hack, gather, and use all that nifty data was just causing me to ooze with curiosity, and the "I want one" syndrome!
