Apple comes out with new iPods. Dang!
Thursday, September 6th, 2007 |Dang! Apple has come out with its latest range of iPods today. Good news for everyone, but not so good for me!
Till 3 months back I didn’t own an iPod. In fact, the very concept of paying so much for an iPod especially when so many cheaper options were available didn’t make sense to me. (Not that I owned any of the cheaper alternatives anyways). You see - I am not a big music buff and listen to music occasionally. And hence, I was pretty happy with my Sony CD man.
That is, until that day we had an office trip to Mysore. I thought listening to music on the bus would be a good idea, and took out my CD man. Thanks to our state of the art roads, the CD kept skipping. If you have ridden on a bus to mysore (or for that matter any roads here down south) during rains, you may appreciate better what I am saying. But what made matters worse was the queer looks from my other (iPod owner) friends – as if I am someone from the past with a clunky CD man. That’s when my pride took a beating. Decided on the spot that I should go with the times. The very next week, got an Ipod nano 4g. I should say this thing grows on you. You just start to like the feeling of your hand on this silky smooth biscuit sized gadget. Well, that was 3 months back. And today, Apple announces the new ipod nano with video, and a bigger screen – all at the same price! Now I need to upgrade to one of these, lest I get those queer looks again. I dont want to be an outcast. Can I exchange my nano for one of ‘em touch screen iPods?
