spiderpigSo anyway a quick geek post before I head off to school with this effing cold. I'm sick, I don't want to go to school mommy.
Apple has come up with a whole brand new iPod lineup, in case you've still been living under a rock. Now I'm kinda iffy on the squat looking iPod nano but the specs are kind of dandy. Still, it could do with some improvements aesthetics-wise. I mean dude, pastel colours are kind of ..... phlegmy looking. Where are the old loud, in your face, but oh-so-vibrant Apple Colours?
The iPod touch is... well, the concept is absolutely lovely. However! The storage space is absolutely weaksauce. Then again, I'm a musicgeek too so I have too many songs to count. 16GB would temporarily satiate my needs but remembering that I maxed out my 30GB fifth gen iPod, it would never be enough. What's more, it comes at around the same price mark as the 80GB iPod classic!!
Now mm, 80GB. The only detractors here are that it's still HDD (which is a pain to maintain) and that there's no student discount available. HOWEVER! At $428 for a 80GB iPod, you can't really expect them to give much of a discount anyway. So basically, I'm a littled irked that it's still HDD. Or rather, why couldn't the iPod touch have a larger capacity of flash memory? Oh Apple.
Okay, geek out.
