As I’m assuming everyone knows by now, last Tuesday Apple released and announced some really cool products. I won’t go into detail as it’s been plenty covered, but I will say that I broke down and got a “new” 5.5G *80 gig iPod*. Insanely great is really the only phrase that comes to mind when talking about it, strangely enough. And yes, I know, it’s more or less the same iPod With Video, sans a widescreen display with a virtual clickwheel, that’s been on the market since last October, but in my case it’s the brand spankin’ new iPod that’s been sitting on my desk for just over a day!
I really do like the iPod a lot, and having a 80 gigs of storage is mind-boggling, even a little crazy, though I’m sure that once I start dumping videos on it I’ll be thankful for all that hard drive space. Speaking about the hard drive, maybe it’s just because it’s so high-capacity, but when I select say a video, I can actually feel the iPod vibrating slightly and hear the drive quite distinctly. I suppose I’m just picky, and on second thought, you’re going to have earbuds in or headphones on when you’re listening to music or watching a video anyways, which entirely block out the noise (which is somewhat faint to begin with). In any case, my iPod remains a great device and will surely remain so for a long time. Well, at least in this blogger’s eyes…
