With my 4G iPod now permanently installed in a dock and plugged into the stereo system at home, I needed to get my fix of portable music again. Last week Apple launched a 1GB iPod Nano for only £100 (after student discount). Seeing as I would have to pick and choose music from my collection anyway, 1GB is quite enough. They really are the coolest little gadgets in the world. I am now listening to Drive By Truckers in a university computer lab.
