I’ve been waiting for a new iPod to come out for a while now and I was going ot pick up a nano to replace my creaking 2nd gen model while we’re in New York in a couple of weeks (having decided that the stability flash memory is more important to me than a a hundred gillion bytes of storage) but how can i stick with that frugal plan in the light of this motherfucker. Obviously the gadget-geeks are complaining that it only goes up to 16 gig but for me that’s more than enough given that my typical listening patterns are to completely play a single record to death. Damn you Steve Jobs.
And then lish said:
You know they’ve brought out 80gig and 160gig standard new models too?
Why they can’t give them the touch screen is beyond me (perhaps they would then be physically too big).
I think this will separate the “I want lots of memory for music and videos” ipodders from the gadget ipodders. Unfortunately I think i’m somewhere in the middle of this camp and want everything :(
And then tom said:16Gig’s not small though, I mean my ipod at the moment only has about 10gig of music on it and the video playback on the touch is only 5 hours of battery life so the remaining 6 gig should fill that.
And then Tom A said:Look forwards to seeing your new touchy baby. Our old 2nd generation ipod feels more like a 1980s mobile phone by the day, and is pretty bashed in now. I’m kind of tempted by this 160GB ipod, but we only have about 60GB of music. It’s all so wonderfully excessive! You could get a lot of videos on it though.
And then nick talbot said:I buy quite a lot of hardware from bigpockets.co.uk. I enjoyed the creative use of the word “should” in this blurb:
“Unlike USB pen drives which store your data on a micro chip, the EMTEC Gigacube stores your data on a miniature hard drive, much like the hard drive in your PC only much, much smaller, which should have greater durability than the flash memory of a pen drive.”
