[senit] ipods

From: Simon Judge <simon.judge at nhs.net>

Yes, screen technology is absolutely amazing (roll on e-paper)!  The light
from them is enough to walk or cycle back from the pub from (apparently) and
how they squeeze it into the Nano i'll never know... But, anything where the
connector for the headphones is fatter than the device is getting a bit
silly really I think! Anyway, sorry, off topic really.

Cheers.

Simon

Well my iPod Shuffle I can use without looking at the screen (as it doesn't
have one) ;-).  I must admit I was walking the dog down a dark lane a couple
of nights ago, took my iPod Classic out of my pocket to look at the screen
and careered into a ditch as I was blinded.  Gosh, that screen is big and
bright in the dark.
