Many years ago I joked about how I’d like to have a soundtrack to my life. After walking around school with an iPod playing at all times for a day, I now know. It’s…surreal. I’ve never really used my portable music players like this before, to actually listen while walking around. Now I can see why so many people are in love with their iPods on a whole new level. This is crazy.

There are a few problems with the mini, though. For one, the 1.0 firmware is buggy and prevents the dock from charging and using the line out port at the same time. That will be fixed soon, I’m sure. Another may or may not be a problem: My battery seems to have depleted very quickly today, but that may just be because I didn’t calibrate it with a full discharge yet. We’ll see.
