A longtime favorite news feed
"engadget", had a great article on past iPods today. It reminded of me of that first ipod back in '03. The 3rd Generation iPod arrived as I was drooling over the Apple online store with my credit card out. I might have had some control if i hadn't been spending my time wandering the isles of Compusa, returning to the Digital Audio counter time and time again. I am glad I became a iPod owner. But be warned that second apple purchase will be much more easy to make. You will realize after using apple products that although they are sold at a premium they don't have the compatibility problems of the past. (example text.doc might be a word document emailed to my powerbook. I can pay for word like on my PC or use the openoffice port "NeoOfficeJ" but surprise surprise it opens with no programs installed!)
Well once I grew to love my iPod I went dual platform with my desktop being PC and my first laptop in Aug. '04, a PowerBook. With the student discount a $399 iPod was $369 and $300 back with purchase of a Laptop. Well $69 for an iPod I couldn't pass up, so I got my 4th Generation which I still have today. I must say the new $299 ones with a color screen is making me think of another one. But a $199 2gig Nano is what has everyone talking.
Sorry for my gushing about my Apple stuff. But its just so great. I got my sister a iPod Mini and my brother constantly has my Shuffle. My brother, who doesn't ever spend money even on books at CSUS (he uses the library reserve system), wants me to get one of the new iPod Nanos. Of which he couldn't remember the name and called it an iPod Galore or iPod Nemenor. I must say it is tempting with the color screen and near Shuffle size & Weight.
