the new ipod. scratch that ipod mini thing. i mean, they are pretty...but for $50 more, you get 20GB instead of 4GB (among other things). and for $150 more, you can get 40GB. so an ipod is the much smarter choice. maybe i can devise some scheme to make it cuter. now that i've got things all worked out in my head, i'll have to figure out a way to make it actually happen...
