My brother’s not one to hold on to anything out of sentiment or for posterity. Needless to say, when he got an iPhone, he no longer had a use for his 5th generation 30G iPod Video. It ended up in a box of junk in the garage.

My Dad was there for a visit and happened across it. He said, “Hey, you know you have an old iPod in here?”. To which my brother answered, “Yeh, I don’t need it any more. Keep it.”

My Dad has a few iPods and iPhones of his own and didn’t have a use for it either. However, he knows I love all things Apple and will take whatever I can get my hands on.

I was very happy to receive this iPod. After all, I (regrettably) sold my 5.5G and broke my other 5G years ago.

It’s not terrible looking. It shows the normal wear that’s to be expected of an iPod that’s been used without a case and that’s been in a box of junk in the garage for the past few years.



Actually, with that said, I’m surprised it’s as good looking as it is. In any case, I might pick up a new back and face plate for it.



I kept the box for the iPod I broke back in 2007, so it’s nice to know I have a box to go with the iPod.



One more iPod for the collection is always nice. Very nice.
