Those were something, weren't they? I thought it was the coolest thing ever as a kid, just the absolute peak of technology.
And in hindsight... Yeah, it was a pretty comfortable way to play videos and music, wasn't it? And the click wheel iPods even had a surprisingly decent selection of games.
While I'm here, whatever happened to those Kindle e-readers with the physical page turn buttons and keyboard? I kinda feel like they stopped selling those, but I feel like that was kind of preferable to a touch screen, too.
I guess just in general I don't like touch screens and it'll be a good day when they stop being integrated into things that don't actually need them. I'm out here thinking that flip phones beat smartphones still
I never had one of the iPods with an actual HDD, but did have one of the earliest Nanos, and the click wheel was really nice.
