iPod What was your first iPod?

I bought a first gen iPod mini in silver, 4gb. That was one durable ipod - though towards the end the battery wasn't going longer than 15 minutes and I recycled it for a 4G nano. (which I then sold 3 weeks later after I got the iPhone). 4 years from an iPod is decent in my opinion, though probably not great?
A pink mini that some low life stole. I hope s/he didn't like the music on there
I sort of miss it, then again I couldn't have all my music on it, since it only had 4GB to it.

I'm now replacing the battery on my ipod video (looking forward to opening it up!). hope the hard drive lives for a long time!
The FIRST iPod. Wheel-5GB (in December 2001)
The iPod was one the main reasons I switched to the Mac. At the time using on iPod in Windows wasn't that smooth. No iTunes. Needed to use something like MusicMatch. When I saw how seemless iTunes and the iPod on a Mac, went out and bought a PowerMac G4
Then;
iPod 3rd gen 15GB (July 2003)
iPod 4th gen 20GB (August 2005)
iPhone 1st gen 16 GB (February 2008)
Sold every iPod on eBay to help pay for the next one.

Dang, almost mee tooo! I got the green the end of May, 2007. I still use it regularly, but added a first generation iPhone.For me, I started small, it was a 1GB iPod shuffle in green.
I got it in July 2007.
4GB iPod Nano (2nd Gen)
Hey, that's the exact model I had for the 2G nano!
Alas, that model tended to freeze up once a week until they updated the firmware to 1.1.3.
Bought the Touch and love it! Just wish some of the apps didn't require wifi to operate.

My first mp3 player was a 256MB RCA Lyra.
I then upgraded to a SanDisk Sansa E-260 or something like that. I attempted to use it for a week or so. But adding playlists was nearly impossible.
So, I started looking into the Creative Zen and the iPod Video 5.5G.
In the end, I bought my first iPod--the iPod Video 5.5 (30 GB). I have never looked back. I love the way syncing with iTunes works.
Anyways, after getting my iPod, and seeing how easy it was to work, I began to look into getting a Mac. When Leopord came out, I bought my first Mac (MacBook). I love it. Now, I am addicted to buying apple products
I purchased an iPod Touch 2G on release day, and recently an iPod Shuffle.

First was ipod nano 3rd generation when it came out. I killed it with my mighty sweaty hands. Should've bought an arm band instead of holding it on my hands when running.
Decided to wait for the 2G iPod touch before purchasing another. I got it and missed the 'click-wheel' soo much, that I decided to sell it on e-bay. I got another 3G nano refurbished and also a new shuffle for running/exercise.

Blue 1G iPod Mini. Got it December of 2004 and I loved that thing. Used it for a year but then the screen cracked. It was a sad day.
5th Generation iPod Video 30 gig.
Ancient, I know.
Me, too, exactly the same. Early 2006. The first two I had died within a few months, in warranty - and were replaced without a murmur, which is one of the reasons I switched to Mac. The third 30 GB is still running well, though showing its age a little.
Cheers
2nd generation iPod 20GB. It now has Tiger and OS 9.2.2 installed on it, to serve as an emergency Firewire boot drive if either of my G4 systems has its HD die.
