I got my refurb iPod 2GB 1st Gen in today. It shipped with the new-style earbuds. They still sound rather crappish. I hope no one actually pays $30 for these things in their own box.
I agree. there was something special about it looking like a mini version of the originalI am partial to the iconic iPod white.
It does lead me to ask, however, a question on FedEx shipping:
The tracking shows my iPod nano has been sitting in Sacramento, CA (I'm in Norman, OK) since the 1:00am on the 6th, and it's due to be delivered in 2 days. WHY THE HECK IS IT SITTING IN A SHIPPING FACILITY GATHERING DUST FOR THIS LONG!?
