Last month, I traded my old DSLR with a 1st Gen ipod touch.  I hesitated at first because it is obvious that the latter is more expensive (even if it’s an old model and even if it’s compared with the latest ipods) but now, I realize that it is a good trade after all.  Why you might ask?

After a few weeks of use, my daughter broke the ipod’s on/off button.  Good thing there is an extended warranty and I was able to ask for repair without shelling-out cash.  Then, I received a message from the store that they will instead replace the unit with a new one.  So yeah, I got the replacement unit last week and although it is only a 2nd Gen ipod, it is brand new!  Now, I’m hooked to the games, social networking sites and the notes functionality of my ipod.  I’m happy to have this new gadget.
