We were thinking of recycling our geriatric, four-year-old ("fourth-generation") iPod for a ten-percent discount on a Nano when it gave us a very nasty sad-face last month. We thought we were doomed when it wouldn't respond to the reset commands, but funnily enough it keeps coming back to life after letting it sit for a while. Maybe we'll hold out for an iPhone (if the voice quality ever gets better).
