Unless you've been living under a rock...
Unless you've been living under a rock you've heard about the new iPods.
Now if you listened to my podcast you heard my say that Apple was going to unveil some new hardware at the 12 October media event. One of which was not going to be a video enabled iPod. Man did I and everybody else got that wrong. Apple unveiled two new iPods that are not only able to play video but are also bigger for the $299 and $399 price point. Where the $299 would've got you a 20 GB iPod and $399 would've got you 40GB of dreamy space for your music collection. That will now get you 30 GB and 60 GB respectively now. Throw on that your new iPod will be color, display pictures and play video and you must be as titillated as me!To seal the deal you will be able to buy shows like “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives” the day after they air for a paltry $1.99. Apple is trying to firm up it relationship with Disney to get other programs and movies to sell. Damn you Steve Jobs! Just when I think I hate you, you swoop in to make me love you again! Now it begs the question of what to do? As you may know I am the newest convert to the PSP cult. And yes I have been ripping DVD’s to my 1GB sticks to watch video on my PSP. But…I’m limited to just 1 GB or now 2GB sticks. Can that compete with the option of having my music and video collection (or at least some shows) on my iPod? To be honest, no. I will say that only having 1 or 2 GB sticks has made me update the music and video I carry with me often, at least once a week. And to see video on that nice big pretty 16:9 PSP screen is downright yummy! Not to mention I can also play some rocking games. The PSP has become my MULTIMEDIA center. Don’t get me wrong, I won’t be listening to my PSP or watching video in the gym but I sure will when I’m just sitting around on an airplane. What do you think? Are you gonna run out and buy a new iPod?
