Cool... I just did a similar geek move... Got an AirPort express today... I can stream my iTunes library to my home stereo now... and control it from anywhere in the house via my iPhone.... And I paid 25 for AirFoil and now I can do the same with Pandora Radio

Cool beans... I thought those iphones were just a fad/gimmick until one of my students brought one into class one day.. boy was I wrong! I can't justify getting one at this point and time but once I can I think that I will pull the trigger on one... Have a great flight and don't eat the fish...

FWIW, my ipod now holds 1381 tunes, a hair over 8Kb down...7 and a fraction more to go.

No more need to pay Sirius radio, I just plug this puppy in!

That is what I was thinking just going by the thread title.

Those headphones are phe-freakin-nominal. They need to be heard to be believed.

That Bose stuff is pricey, but they understand sound, and take advantage of this knowledge to great effect.

Our pilot has a pair of those. He uses it to keep things quiet, and hear Air Traffic Control.

Keep loading Paul!

I'm up to 14gb now and soon out of space on my iPod touch. It'll be ok if I stop buying music now, but that's just not going to happen.

iTunes just told me I have 12.1 days of music, in something the size oh a small notepad yeahhhhhhhhhh.

I have a cell phone that I can talk to and listen to people with.
I think it might have a camera built in, not sure.
Guess I'll never reach geekdom

Things were different when I was your age, now get off my lawn!

Guess I'll never be a techno geek...this stuff just amazes me. I mean, to guys my age, the first "compact disc" was the 45 rpm record...

I wouldnt even want to guess how many 33's and 45's I have in storage. Alot of good music thats for sure. I recently saw a turn table that had a USB port and it converts them to MP3 ...

You can't be using an iPhone. I read here on PPOT that it was a failure.
