I have a 3G iPod that I still occasionally use. I thought about lugging it with my on my flight tomorrow, even though I loaded my Helio Ocean with 2GB of memory, just to have my entire library at my fingertips. But I tell you, I really didn't pay much attention to the complaints about the sound quality of the iPod when they first start making waves... until now. Maybe it's dying or something, but the sound quality from my Ocean is so superior that I've begun transferring a good amount of music to that device for my trip tomorrow. Am I going crazy, is my iPod dying or was I just naive to its mediocre sound quality.
