Conventional wisdom is "why carry two devices when you can carry only one?"
But I still use an iPod for several reasons: 1. Combined with iTunes, it's still the most convenient way I know to follow a lot of podcasts 2. Reduce battery drain on my iPhone 3. Lower replacement cost than an iPhone 4. Still has a headphone jack, unlike the iPhone -- wired connection has better quality and reduces battery drain 5. While I do have a Spotify subscription, I still like to own my music and not need a connection to play it (yes, I know about offline mode) (I use a non-iPod for portable music because I prefer the simplicity of loading/managing music via drag-and-drop.) So it probably doesn't make sense for Apple to make them anymore, but I like using them.
