ipod paradox of choice or waaaaah which



The iPod paradox of choice; or Waaaaah which pointless luxury good will make

me happier??

I'm behind on my work since I spent all afternoon drooling over the

new iPods.

Well, not the new Ipod Nano. I imagine it feels good in the hand but

seems to [DEL: have lost the very nice proportions of the old ones

:DEL] be hideously ugly. And are you really going to watch video on

that tiny screen? Gimme the old ones any day.

But cripes, Apple, you had to make things difficult, didn'tcha? I own

a current 60GB iPod. Come upgrade time, do I a) buy a 160GB iPod

Classic and take care of my music storage needs for, say, the next

5-10 years but without any cool new features; or b) Go with the

drool-worthy, internet-connected iPod Touch but have to settle for

only 16gb of storage at a time?

I mean, it's a stunning interface but I don't know if I could take the

portable storage hit. I love having all my music available at all

times. And "iPod Touch" is such a lazy name; was "WiFiPod" taken?

That's what I'm going to call it anyway.

Tough choices. I don't think I could say "No" to either of them. But

I'll take my WiFiPod without the Macy Gray:

Much better.
