In a sinister attempt to keep me buying nothing but Hondas the rest of my life, Apple Computers has announced that, starting later this year, Hondas (along with Acuras, Audis and Volkswagens) will feature iPod integration with their cars.

To date, I have owned four Honda Civics, all used but the latest one, ranging from a 1979 to my current 1999. My one flirtation with another car company ended poorly, and we will speak of it no more.

  • Less than a year after I received my iPod for Christmas, I’m something like four or five models out of date, with my enormous monochrome edition that I love so dearly. The newest iPod is the Nano, which is approaching the insanely small point. It’ll be interesting to see what iPods will look like at this point in 2006.

    1. I’ve still got my 1st gen iPod and it works great after almost five years. I even get about 8 hours battery life per charge. If the battery ever goes below 6 hours, I’ll install a new one.

      I’ve read that people with 1st Gens had to replace them about two yers after getting them, but I’ve had no problems with mine. I use it two or three times a week when I’m driving and it’s flown with me around the country, to Europe twice and Asia once.

    2. My iPod battery is doing great. My Treo 300 battery, on the other hand, is good for a 90 second phone call and that’s it.
