I'm sorry to report, I have just received some bad news…

My iPod is dying.

Yes that is true, my iPod is dying.

It's really sad for me, because I love my iPod.  It is so hard to see it suffer so much.  One minute we have a synergy between each other where he knows exactly the type of music and podcasts I want to listen to, and the next minute he dies from exhaustion.

We didn't use to have this problem.  He used to last for hours upon hours at a time, but now my iPod can barely scrape 2 and a half hours of life.  I'm only just trying to prolong his life by charging him each night, but I fear I must let him go.  Even after several headphone and battery replacements, I've tried to keep him going, but now I'm just prolonging the inevitable.

We've had such a long life together.  Three years is a long time for an iPod to last.  We've had some health scares in the past, he's had his fair share of bumps and bruises, but he always toughened it up and still played anything on it's hard drive to his life's content.

Now I've talked it over with him and he definitely wants me to see other iPods.  He wants the music to continue on and never stop.  And as his last request I will honor it and will consider getting one of those Video iPods.  It will never replace my original 3G iPod, but I must do what I must do.  So if anyone is out there and willing to help me in this endeavor, and help me through a tough time.  Please respond.
