My brother just got a Video iPod.
Until this time, I was not really into the whole iPod phenomenon. I would hear people speak of them, see someone wearing one, and witnessed the rabid ferocity with which it's supporters defend their product on the net.
I didn't really want one.
All that hype, and the price tag was just a bit out of my reach. I figured I would be happier with a lower end mp3 player, and leave all "those" people to their white ear-buds and weird commercials. I know that U2 has an iPod, and if Bono's endorsing it, I know Joey's not going anywhere near it. ( Thus was the extent of my research.)
But I got to hold one in my hands.
I got to examine it closely, and play with it for a while.
Oh God, I want one so bad.
It's a lot more than what I had imagined, and that's not including the picture and video capabilities. It's like sweet music and funky technology hopped in the sack and fucked like bunnies. I would call it "My Precious", and I would hold it and love it and squeeze it all day long......
But I digress.
I'll admit that I was wrong.
In my brief time that I got to enjoy the product, I kept thinking how neat and intuitive it was. It seemed really well designed. Cool features and nice workmanship make a well rounded product.
To Steve Jobs: Nice work, and I hope to get one someday.
To My Brother: If yours goes missing, don't look at me.
I don't know...I like the ipod and am willing to look over tha fact that Boner endorses them becuse so does Eminem and other artists...but the video ipod seems a little much. I have seen one and although I appreciate the original the new video version seems like a cash grab in a way. The taking of music everywhere is normal but fir me to be sitting on a bus and watching a tiny show on the tiny screen seems irititating. Do you really need to be able to watch something while you walk down town...
