I was almost embarrassed by the fact that I didn't own an iPod for so long. It felt like a dirty little secret, being as big a Mac Geek I am. So when I heard the rumors about an up…

I bought the Shuffle because of the price point. I wouldn't have shelled out the money for a full-size iPod, and the Mini seemed like a bad deal in terms of dollar-per-gigabyte. …
