Cut to 5 years later, and I have an Android device which I use as my phone and iPod.   I listen to podcasts and stream music from Pandora or Slacker Radio.   I also have a windshield mount for it.  This all means that when listening to audio while driving, I can see album artwork.  Its a little thing, but after 5 years its nice to see the work artists put into their album covers.
