Which part of my new iPod Shuffle will I lose first?

Favourite: The docking port's USB socket cover.



It isn't an integral part of the working life of the iPod, and - because losing it won't really affect listening to music - it'll be loved less than other components. Odds on.

Second favourite: The headphones.



They'll go everywhere, they're easy to remove / detach, and they're most likely to be 'borrowed' to be used in something else.

Third favourite: The iPod Shuffle itself.



It'll go everywhere, and is easy to put down, have stolen, forget that you left it at your seat on the train back from a big weekend in Sheffield.

Fourth favourite: The docking station.



What? It's going to be in the house, mostly plugged into the computer. The fact that it's going to be plugged in a lot makes the cover for its USB socket even more likely to go first. Long shot.

Am I tempting fate?
