Apple Is Discontinuing IPods and Nostalgic Internet Users Are Mourning

Every day my boyfriend gets into his car and plugs his old ass iPod into his car. What happens next is up to the tiny, silvery machine - will it be Whitney Houston or harsh noise from Tokyo? You never know. Could be Gloria Estefan. Whatever the tunes, it's nice to be able to use one's phone and listen to music at the same time, a luxury that the iPod permitted. But not anymore. Apple announced yesterday that they're discontinuing their latest iPod Touch model, and retiring the music devices altogether. While for people like me, who use the sinister service of Spotify, this really doesn't matter. I've got my music right on my phone. For other people, this news required a walk down memory lane, and paying respects.
