I love my 20 GB 4th gen iPod. It may not have all the fancy bells and whistles of the new color-screen video-enabled super-giganto iPod models, but she's got character. We've sat through rush-hour traffic jams and late night bus-rides together.

So, you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that she has less than two hours to live.

That's according to the iPhone deathclock, at least. The site asks you for your serial number and usage habits and then estimates how much time your ipod has to live.

Seeing as how my iPod's been running heavy duty for upwards of three years now, taking plenty of beatings along the way, and already required open-case surgery once, it doesn't surprise me much.

Still, it's sad to think that the old girl is due to croak at 7:30 this evening.
