Oi. One of those days...

Freaking Apple.

Freaking new iPods.

I want one.

Damn it.

I've been waiting on a new iPod for a while. I'll be getting one of the 80 giggers soon. The iPod touch won't tempt me until they're at least 50 gig.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

I'd like to know just how much connectivity the Wi-Fi in it has. If I can use it as a music player OR a browser when I'm at a Wi-Fi hotspot, I don't need it to also be my phone.

*ahem* As I've also filled up my 60 gig iPod, I wouldn't mind a little more space...

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

Whoops. Just refreshed an article. Eight or 16 gigs? C'mon, Steve! Play nice!

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, it is essentially the phone without the phone.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

I have to give them credit for differentiating the products just enough to make me want two.

After all, touch screen and wi-fi versus all that lovely lebensraum... how does one decide?

If they had the new nano's when I was trying to pick between the video iPod and the old school nano a couple years back, I think I would've gone wtih the video nano and learned to be a lot more discriminatory with my playlists.

*chuckles*

I need a new one. My shuffle is really getting old.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

I could never do a shuffle. I love my podcasts too much. Plus, I am a planner at heart. The randomness would drive me batty.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

I lurve me some randomness.

[arian1.livejournal.com]

You and me both sister.

[thezzyzx.livejournal.com]

That's not so much Steve as the limits of flash memory.

[lysistratah.livejournal.com]

That much is debatable (well, up to 32 gigs) but y'know, I would've been happy with a hard drive based iTouch. I know it would've been bigger, but I really can handle more than 8 mm in thickness.

It's soooo pretty, though. I think it's a great way to capture much of the audience who wanted an iPhone but wasn't willing to switch carriers for it.

[sausage-boy.livejournal.com]

160 would sure come in handy, especially for video goodness.

[sausage-boy.livejournal.com]

er, 160 gigs.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I hear that.

[apestyle.livejournal.com]

Its true, not so much technologically as much as how many units he could get at a reasonable timeframe for a reasonable price.

[bayushiboy.livejournal.com]

You can TOUCH, but you can't LOOK!

I know what you mean. !@#!@#!#@ Apple porn.

Like I don't want a macbook already. Now this...

[archeon.livejournal.com]

the new one is cool, but such a tiny hard drive... I have an 80GB so there's no way I'd get one with less space just because it's pretty.

[moriarty6.livejournal.com]

Well I for one am underwhelmed, largely thanks to the ridiculous new price structure. Want the features of an iPhone but don't want to switch carriers? Here's an iPhone without the phone. Oh, but it costs exactly the same.

And that bullshit with Starbucks is icing on the cake. A shit cake.

[gamethyme.livejournal.com]

... which differentiates Apple from Sony.

[apestyle.livejournal.com]

Yes, Sony being quite a larger company.

[seanb.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the "iTunes wifi". I know that was one of your issues with the initial iPhone launch.

[lithera.livejournal.com]

It was indeed. Is it just at Starbucks or everywhere?

[seanb.livejournal.com]

Everywhere. On the iPod touch and iPhone. The Starbucks thing is an add-on piece of crap.
