Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and one of the things I'm most thankful for is the wide array of Apple products that bring me digital media, help me work and keep me informed. This is driven home after being pointed toward a poignant farewell to a suddenly dead 4g iPod, written by Londoner Tristan.

It's quite moving. Seriously.

Death came suddenly for my 4th gen 60GB iPod, who died today, aged just under 2 years old. It could be said that it died young, but given the early mortality rates of these MP3 players, it had a comparatively long life of giving musical pleasure.

Be ready to cry, and remind your Apple stuff how much you love it this holiday season – especially any new members of the family.

Thanks, Tristan!
