My brother still uses his black 4GB, and I'm still using a 3G 15 GB iPod. Vintage pods rule.

I still use my white 4GB 1st gen nano. I actually prefer the look over the current gen of nanos. It looks like a baby 5G iPod, which is what I love about it.

It works as well as the day I got it, too. Doesn't get as much use anymore though, ever since I started getting rides to and from work. I bought it primarily to block out all the noise and conversations on public transport.

I'll keep on using it until there's a true touch widescreen OS X-based iPod.

My 4th Gen 40GB, who's battery has long since given up the ghost, is now permanantly my car iPod. Only works plugged in anyway.
My 2nd Gen 10GB iPod which is only used as data storage but was just recently retired with the purchase of a 8GB USB stick. My 512mb 1st gen Shuffle still hits the slopes with me when the snow falls.
And my iPhone is more or less a portable TV.

I'm still on my more-than-five-year-old 5 GB 1st-generation iPod.

Six hours on the original battery, baby!

I still use my 4GB 1st gen Nano. I bought it the day after they were released (went to see it the day they came out and could only resist the temptation to purchase for less than 24 hours, lol). I've never babied it. I carry it in my pocket with change, keys, whatever. It has thousands of tiny scratches, but it's now just part of it's charm.

I still use my 1st gen Nano when at college. It's a bit temperamental as to when it wants to charge so I haven't used it recently because of that.

Wow, this thread reads like 1st gen Nanos weren't released less than 2 years ago.

Yup. I still use my 1st gen 4GB Nano when I hit the gym. I've always used a case and clear film on the front, so it still looks brand new.
