Broken iPod Shuffle

What a sad day, well, sad week really. My iPod shuffle is dead. (The picture isn't of mine). Its been slowly becoming more finicky about turning on, but now its just not doing it. If I smack it against the wall I can usually get it to start working.

Reinstalling the software didn't help. Reformatting did nothing. Just looks like its dead. I'll put it right beside my 2G 10GB iPod that died two years ago.

I guess now the only question is what to replace it with. A refurb 2GB nano is $120, and a refurb 30GB video is $210. $90 difference for 28GB and video capability. Ugh, I have to decide quick because I have an itchy trigger finger. Unless the iPod fairy comes and delivers me a new 80GB video ;)
