My kind (used loosely) girlfriend was generous (used looser) enough to get me an iPod for Christmas (or holiday or your choice). Besides the fact that I now need a larger one I LOVE IT! The mere 30Gb hard drive does not hold all my music and I hate selecting what I am dragging around. Not to mention the songs get mad when you show that sort of discrimination.
Everyone needs an iPod. They are the greatest thing for music, games, storing or moving files and just general devouring of all those extra minutes you have rolling around loose in your day. I am very excited for this summer when Apple announces the new iPod that you implant right in your head! No need for a headset since it sits right on your brain. I think they are still ironing out the details on whether uploads will take place via a USB port in your finger or if it will just use the wildly popular blue tooth. I love gadgets especially if they have that little apple with a bite missing on them. I am not an Apple fanatic to the insain degree of some but I stand up when someone tries to bash them. With that noted I have built my share of macaquariums. Luckily my budget does not allow for more gadgets or I would need a lot more pockets. Typing of pockets… that is the is the only thing I hate about this time of year, trading in my winter coat. I loose so many pockets! Once they start putting fun recreational electronics in the human body I wanna be the first in line. I can’t make a decision on tattoos so I have none, but chips in my head, bionic eyes, color changing skin… SIGN ME UP!
OK back to the iPod… Easy movie player, walkman without a case of tapes melting on your dash, portable gaming system, address book, photo album, audio note taker, grocery list keeper, calender, calculator, pocket watch, flash light… what could be better. I still want my phone separate from my other gizmos but I may be alone here? My hot tip for anyone getting an iPod would be to get a case! Not as soon as you can but before you open the package of the little guy. I carry my iPod in one of many pockets everyday, it rolls around in my car and the dog has even taken it for a walk and it still looks great. I have a Speck Tough Skin and it is worth every cent. iPods are smooth and slippery so they scratch and find there way to the floor way more than I would like. Luckily when I get my brainPod I won’t have to ever worry about it scratching! Course no one will know how cool I am because they won’t be able to see the brainPod. Maybe the brainPod will have to come with a speaker in the roof of your mouth so when you want to share a song with friends you can just open your mouth!
