I had no idea that recycling gadgets wasn't the best way to go. Also props for actually "living" this out with your previous post. Great suggestion.

It was one of my favorite MP3 players ever... loved the 5 band parametric EQ! Now, if I could only find the time to replace that faulty hard drive with something bigger, I might have a recycled gadget to bring back to life!

I try to hold out as much as I can. I'm finally getting a new phone - an iPhone - after my 4 year old ipod finally died (2 weeks ago) and after my blackberry's started to get weird memory issues. I think the Zune is a great example of how the software upgrade really makes more a difference than changes in the hardware. Hopefully, we'll start to see more devices go this route - though of course, you'll need new hardware eventually. That’s a great reminder Jeremy, especially as we get closer to the holiday season.
