it finally arrived!
call me a sucker for marketing….
after struggling with an older generation iPod which for some bizarre reason would play only half of my favourite songs (strangely after you get going and after you start thinking that it has fixed itself and won’t stop this time–click–) and waiting around for an amount of time, trying to gauge when the timing was right to get a new one…sign number one: my paychecks have been good…sign number two: Mac released the 5.5 gen iPod video.
ok, ok, i know what your thinking…and honestly it was exactly what i was thinking not two months ago. why would you want/need video on the iPod? the answer is…i don’t. but its f*%#ing cool, i tell you that much!!! It arrived yesterday after about a week of waiting…(and the waiting was tense…)i realised that i am a techie at heart…i like that i like that i have to rip my dvd’s with software i downloaded from the net, and i like to fiddle about with the settings in order for it to be able to play on the iPod. i like it. i like it a lot. ok, it hasn’t been 24 hours since i owned the thing, and therefore i haven’t really been able to road test it (and i’m at work now so i can’t really watch the curious george movie that i put in there last night) but so far it looks pretty damn good.
oh and the free engraving rocks.
nothing like an iPod with individuality.
i’m road testing it at the gym soon. i know my cardio sessions will never be the same.
and to be able to listen to all my favourite songs in FULL again will be a welcome feeling.

I have the same one and it rocks! And, no, I haven’t filled it with porn!!! Oh yeah, don’t work out with it, you’re better off buying a Nano for that

Ey girl!
This is what I’d get if I were you, I have the same one for my Nano, it’s a waterproof case, it’s tough enough to absorb impact if ever you drop the sucker!

creative has better things to offer. sadly, everyone thinks iPod is the shizz because it’s apple. like choosing macbook over a more functional laptop… just my opinion.
