Yes. Bling envy. No great dollar value involved, just bling for braggarts. Would that those who mugged to get one got mugged for that device themselves a bit later on. A close friend got emails from three of her friends wherein they related Christmas gifts they had gotten this year. Two boasted of an iPod Touch, and one of an iPod. Nothing else mentioned. Just those items, as if you got one of those you had reached the pinnacle of gift reception. And these were full blown adults. Stupid.
