SHOULD I SELL my ipod?

I have a 40G ipod that was given as a gift, and I live in a place where commuting does not take more than an hour, and for the past and next year, I will not commute daily AT ALL (since I live on campus). I currently use the ipod as an extra harddrive for backup.

I guess I really should sell it before it continues to depreciate next year, what do you guys think?

If you don't use it, I suppose so... But I don't commute, and I use my iPod all the time.

See ya

Yup, these are suggestions of using the ipod, it has become quite handy when I go out of home and especially on trips. But honestly, I could just get a mini instead, 40G's are just overload to me.

So how do you use it? As a source for music listening? I can't do that because my soundcard just sounds way sweeter than the ipod.....

Anyways, please do convince me not to sell them!! I really haven't made up my mind yet, and what you guys said have just reminded me of it's usefulness some time ago...

I'd sell it and get the most money for it now. I think price does depreciate quickly, especially since the latest iPod has a color screen. Then if you need a portable hard drive or portable storage, buy one for cheap. And later on when you need an iPod, buy the latest and greatest.

My iPod is always with me. It keeps my phone numbers... it plays music whenever I have a free 10 minutes or so... When I get home, I dock it into my stereo system and play it through my big speakers... I have a set of inMotion speakers that I keep next to my bed and I use the iPod as my alarm clock... When I dock it, it downloads news stories for me to peruse on the road... I timeshift the Phil Hendrie show with my Radio Shark and play it in my car, even when Phil isn't on the air... When I'm visiting a friend and we are talking music, I can pull out my iPod and the PodFreq and instantly play the song I'm talking about through their stereo... With my pocket dock and 256 AAC encoding, the sound quality is as good as my Phillips 963SA.

I couldn't exist without my iPod, but if you don't use it, get it in the hands of someone who would.

See ya

Problem is, I'm never on the road, or bus, or train. I'm stuck at home or in the dorm, next to the computer....! I know a lot of people will have use of it tho.
