There's hope for old iPods yet...

I've been eyeing the new breed of iPods that Apple has been rolling out this past year - the Shuffle, the Nano then the granddaddy of them all - the video iPod. But frankly, while their lush looks and streamline bodies have many drooling and emptying wallets and maxing out credit cards, I'm quite happy with my first generation baby - the 5GB iPod.

Only thing is, the battery is near kaput.

A small story in today's The Strait Times gave me hope. Sonnet Technologies have given old iPod users just that. Well, batteries actually. Ones that can turn on the music again and make them last even longer than Apple's batteries.

Trouble is, they're only sold in the US, Canada and Mexico. What!?! Don't they realise that there are iPod users in other countries who are dying for this very thing they're offering? Now I have to get my sister to help ship this thing out to me.

D...if you're reading this...please check your email and see the link above. And help!

PS...I've caught a cold, on a Saturday. Sniffing, tearing and sneezing when I should be at an outdoor jazz concert. This sucks!
