Hi there i am new here,
I have just realized i have 6 iPod's and no clue to what i should do with them. I have a 3g 20gb, 2 1g iPod mini's, a shuffle and 2 nano's. The two nano's is because they did not have the 4gb nano in white in the shop when i went so i ordered it and got the black to satisfy me for a couple of days. I also have the logitech bt headphones which dont work with the nano :(

Thanks

I suppose you could somehow do somesort of FireWire RAID setup with two 20 giggers and one mini to get 44GB of extra storage space... or, of course, you could sell 'em off in the Marketplace on here!

Get some cotton batting for snow, and some little ceramic houses and shoppes and churches that light up, and make a nice little christmas scene with your iPods as ice-skating children (on a mirror pond, of course). (you can pretend the black Nano is adopted :))

You can donate one to the poor-broke-devilot-would-love-a-nano-or-shuffle foundation. :D

Don't you love when you want a serious answer and all you get are jokes? Seriously though, you could give one to a poor band teacher with a 30 minute commute and nothing good to listen to on the radio. AHHHHH....sorry..i really tried to be serious.

Do you honestly and publicly have to ask complete strangers what to do with unwanted expensive consumer electronic items or is this just idle boasting? :rolleyes:

I wish I could tell you how hard I laughed at that one. Sent it to some friends here sitting by me in the library at school and they laughed hard too. Props

You could sell them and give to a charity or donate to hurricane relief efforts. OR, you could just sit there and brag about all of them online to anyone who will listen, a strategy you seem to be content with.

Haha, you know it! :p Although I must admit, perhaps Xeem's suggestion is better:

The real question is not 'what should i do with all my iPod's??????' but rather what SHOULDN'T you do w/ all your iPods???

have a ball. I say keep a nano and the 3g then just go crazy.

1. Wrap one of the iPods up in saran wrap (or something that will keep the water out) and just drop a shuffle in a fountain at the mall. Imagine throwing coins in and seeing a freaking shuffle at the bottom of the pool.

2. Get together w/ your friends in a park (or some other open space) and have a 'throw the iPod' contest. Whoever can throw it the farthest wins it.

3. Blow one up.

4. Put a shuffle in a balloon. Fill the baloon w/ helium. Have a goodbye shuffle ceremony and let go. Some poor sucker's gonna have a shuffle fall on his head....

That's four ideas. I mean, if you weren't going to sell them (the obvious solution) then there's no point in keeping them in a manageable state. Be creative.

Ahh.

Treat the ipod like a hostage. Go up to railroad tracks where people will see you and rope the iPod down to the tracks. Walk away.
