I bought the 3G, when the cold of the Canadian winter and some moisture damage rendered it somewhat flakey in operation (still works but it's dodgy sometimes) I ordered up a 512MB shuffle the day they were released at MWSF '05.
My Dad found the mini whilst on a morning walk up near their place, he handed it in to the cops, nobody claimed it within 8 weeks so we got it back. I tried everything to find who may own it but there was no information on it so my folks gave it to me as a Christmas present because they couldn't afford to buy me a new one.
I won the nano in a survey prize at my Uni Graduation a little while ago.
I use the 3G as a jukebox - it rarely leaves my inMotions.
The mini is now my main repository of my "most listened to" music, all my iTMS tracks are on it, it's replaced my 3G as a portable music player.
The nano has replaced my mini as my main iPod, I've got all my top rated tracks on it and the most recent of all my podcasts.
The shuffle is a replacement for my old 128MB USB thumb drive. It also happens to play music.
Definitely overkill but I just can't bear to part with them. I'm hoping to fully replace my 3G with either a 5G or whatever replaces it this year - it's just getting too dodgy to continue to rely on to hold all my music.

No problem...I'm still the dumbass that paid $600 for it (when they lowered the price by like $200 just a few months later). oh why oh why did I need a 60 GB right when it first came out!
keeps me sane on the train. UE3's. I have to force restart a few time a day and the battery only lasts a few hours in steady play. Please Apple, make me a happy man and bring out the all touch screen Video video video ipod.
Dosent anyone mod there firmware anymore? I havent seen one modded iPod firmware in the whole thread! I would mod mine but its hard to modify the the icons and text strings on the iPod Shuffle 1G...
Sorry i just had to post that, anyone have modded firmware on there iPod?

There iPod? Where iPod?
Pretty sure that modding the iPod firmware is not particularly popular. So far I have not seen anybody with modded firmware on their iPods - probably because there's not much point. Some people have iPod linux installed but they're few and far between.
Yes! Used all three versions, There, Their and They're.
I think modding (in terms of what it gives you) is for diehard nerds only on the iPod. The iPod implementation of Rockbox for example is the only port which works worse than the native firmware.
Anyway, did anyone manage to work out how that built-in-desk dock is configured underneath or did the poster of that picture post up shots of the underside of the desk?
I would imagine the docks are mounted within the desk surface and the cables securely attached with the locking pins filed off. That way you could use the universal dock inserts without having to reach under the desk to squeeze the cables and release the iPod - you'd just bung it in and rip it out like with a regular dock.
I know the dock is underneath, a cable wouldn't work. I just didn't want to need to guess when doing the same thing.
I never mentioned rockbox or iPod Linux (even though iPod Linux rules) but string editing and icon editing etc.
A cable would work, just file off the locking pins like I said and superglue the bugger in there - much cheaper than buying two docks. Just mount the inserts into the desk, Araldite the cables in place with the locking pins filed off and you're set. Sure, it's a bit crude but it would work just fine and beats buying multiple docks.
Ok, I googled around for anything interesting in iPod mods. I havn't found enough interesting for me to work on mine. Any pointers? Show me what mods are cool for iPods.
(BTW, my iPod resets everytime I pause it. How soon till the next iPod you think?)
