Quick Purchase
After admiring the original iPod, nearly purchasing some of the later iPod models, trying out an iPod Shuffle, I jumped at the chance to purchase the new iPod nano.The Shuffle is great, but without a screen, I find it a bit lacking. Once I saw the nano announcement, all the pieces fell in place:
- 4 Gb - Large enough for my library, as well as storing images, and other files
- Colour screen - Sure the screen is tiny, but it looks great and I can carry pictures of Finnegan wherever I go
- Black - It's not the first black iPod, but it still looks great
- Tiny - nano is an appropriate name for this incredibly slim & small form factor
Can't wait for it to arrive.

Did you go for black?
You must review it on your blog once you get it.
I went for black, yes. It'll make the AC/DC sound that much better.
I'll certainly write a review. It's all about the waiting right now.
yes, i can't wait to try out our nano.
you know what they say about the size of a man's ipod. . .
"that's the one"
I bought my iPod mini two weeks ago. Two days later, the iPod Nano came out, and iPod mini disappeared from the Apple site.
It is now either obsolete or a "collector's item". If I ever sell it, I'll be using the latter label.. but in the meantime, its holding my music collection, and a friend's (oops, that's illegal?), and keeps me happily biking from Fraser to UBC.
Oh, and its pink. Didn't plan for that, but that was all the Bookstore had in stock... and I'm a bit on the impulsive side... but pink seems to go with bike grease well enough.
The mini is still a good machine, of course, and may have more storage. Plus it's metal. METAL!
But, er what do they say about the size of a man's iPod? (Looks sideways at his iPod shuffle.)
Never mind the size.. how about the general appearance:
iPod shuffle: never know what to expect, a distinct lack of transparency... cheap...
iPod U2: wants to be a rock star
iPod mini, pink: comfortable with gender ambiguity
iPod mini, silver: not comfortable with gender ambiguity, and not quite sure what green would indicate, either, but pretty sure it is less-manly than silver
iPod, with custom engraving: extreme techno-geek, if engraved with semi-obscure sci-fi reference ("Don't Panic." "I grok my iPod." etc)
More?
Well?!
Hah. I was thinking the same :)
My iPod mini has crashed.
I'm bitter.
*sigh*
BUT, recently having a chance to try to play the bagpipes almost makes up for it! Whee!
i have got to say i am only slightly worried by the way this conversation is goin, espeaccily on a site which has taken the best name, full stop, under its wing. im an alistair by the way. rock on you sad bastards
A whole new site design template, and no news about the iPod? What is the world coming to?
It's also a sign when your commenters are the ones updating your blog! :)
I think he should just give us all unlimited access for a month, and see what we come up with.
Early Christmas present, from Alistair. Whaddayathink?

I could think of a few interesting things to talk about!
Carbon fibre case now available.
hmmm, what would those interesting things be?
