iPod Calling all iPod collectors...

The only ipod i'd want to own besides my current one is the very first ipod.. in box of course
Can't agree with you more...its a wonder.
Hehe. This thread inspired me to dig out my old 2G 20GB iPod and see if it worked.
Hooked up the Firewire cable (you kids today with yer fancy-schmancy 'dock' connectors!) - and yes, the FW port cover's still attached! It works fine still! Very strange to see a time-capsule of my music collection from 2005! I know some people end up getting lots of iPods through faults, repairs and replacements, but since getting my 2G iPod in 6 years ago, I'm still only on my 2nd (an iPod Colour with Clickwheel). That tells me it's time for an upgrade - 2G from 2002-2005 (3yrs), iPod Colour from 2005-2008 (also 3yrs!).

That is wild, thanks for posting it! Imagine if they made one from old rental fleet cars instead of cans... or from old taxis --> I could take a picture and finally have a yellow iPod without going to colorware.
Here is a picture of my first mini.

Man you need to get some color in your collection!
There are people who collect every color of the Maglite flashlights (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showpost.php?p=1797653&postcount=23). So there probably are people who have every color of iPod mini, shuffle and nano. And if there aren't, someone should start a collection right now
Cheers - Greg
lollll i wonder what's the point in collection flashlights? I mean... it doesn't do anything special. That's so funny!
i would love actual iPods to come with the dock. Happily, my iPhone came with one.
Looking
Thanks for posting all the pictures, I never realized the variety of iPods. Can anyone point me to reliable web stores as I'm looking for a refurb or new iPod nano 2nd generation 8GB. I've been looking at the Apple store, but am curious about other possibilities. Thanks.

You've got that right...but I'm working on it! Hopefully soon enough I'll have an 80gb silver classic.
Boy the way Glen Miller played
Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.
Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.
Ah, nostalgia...

Aren't you missing the 2nd Generation too? I see the 1st and the 3rd, or is the 1st sealed?
Never opened it! Don't feel the need I guess...
No, the 2nd generation is the iPod that's displayed. The 1st Generation is the one inside the box. Sealed in the "Don't Steal Music Wrapper" with all the accessories sealed too!
Very nice collection...I still need an iPod photo!
It is, but I have the monochrome (black and white) 4th Generation. What I would really want to get is a 4th Generation U2 iPod Photo. That would be the best of both worlds....I'd have a special edition and an iPod photo all in one!
Wouldn't that mess up your all white/silver scheme? Lol, oh yh, the iPhone already ruins it, but I guess thats forgivable. Thanks for the reply btw, its nice to see other people who collect these things, but your collection is much better. So far I got the mini for free and about $60 for the photo, but I know eventually I'll need to spend some real money if I ever want to get a 1G.
