As one of the first iPod Nanos, my iPod was manufactured in September 2005. A white beauty with a screen — a small one by today's standards, but the fact that it existed was amazing — and I really enjoyed using it. I had most of my music library on it and it was used frequently as I went out on walks etc.

Alas, a while ago came an e-mail from Apple cautioning the users of 1st generation iPod Nanos about the battery and its tendency to explode and I was instructed to send in my old one in order for them to exchange it with a new one. Today I received yet another e-mail telling me that my new iPod Nano — this time from generation six — was on its way to me. It has a far bigger screen and even more storage. I certainly look forward to receiving it.
