Cool Ipod News
by Tsoniki
Alright Moms, who is a Mac geek and refreshed their browsers while Apple was announcing news today (a couple of blogs I read were updating as things happened from the presentation location)?
Not me. LOL That’s right, I am so not a Mac person! But I love the Apple products I’ve come across. I was confused as to why the itunes store was down this afternoon and after reading a few blogs I realize now why it was down.
News about the ipod ~ Check out the stats for the video ipod (my favorite gadget!):
Video iPod: brighter screen, longer battery life, new earphone design, gapless playback, instant searching, games AND a new price! 30GB and 80GB, white or black, $249 and $349
Many of my friends have the ipod nano and one of them emailed me and said she wanted to buy one in a new color. LOL
iPod Nano: longer battery life, aluminum casing in COLORS, new earphone design. 2GB, 4GB and 8GB, $149, $199 and $249.
And look at this:
Look at how teeny tiny the shuffle is! Wow! That is amazing. I’d like to get one and put upbeat songs to exercise to - very easy to carry and I wouldn’t have to mess with my video ipod.
iPod Shuffle: tiny, aluminum case with clip, 1GB at $79
Oh and there are now games available for the video ipod on itunes! I like the idea, I think it would be fun, but really, I don’t need even more distractions. I could get them and take them in the car for my kids….
You can also buy movies from itunes! I’m not sure that is such a great thing …. I’d want to be able to burn to a dvd and watch on my tv - not on my computer. Then again, I don’t have a laptop so maybe it would be cool there.
Oh but wait, there was another last minute announcement!
Coming in ‘07, you will be able to get your media to your tv via this wireless “itv” (a codename, they will change it later). How cool is that!
Wow I just wrote more about Apple then I ever thought I would. LOL
Is anyone planning on purchasing an ipod since these announcements came out today? Other then the shuffle, I admit to being very interested in the “iTV” - considering what it will be used for, it was quoted today as selling for $299. I don’t think that is a bad price.

Oooh that tiny ipod is cute… you know this kinda reminds me of the spoof video I’m sure one can find it You Tube or places like that it’s called fleapod LOL kinda reinforces how close they come to predicting Apple.
The iTV looks cool and you’re right not bad pricing.
I have no intentions to purchase an iPod. Not in the near future that I can foresee at the moment. I don’t enjoy watching videos on a tiny screen and I’m having trouble filling my 1GB iRiver as it is.
Maybe and this is a big maybe if they improved the recording quality. Right now the iRiver’s recording quality is superb and that makes me happy.

Lynette, have you seen pictures of Microsoft’s Zune? It looks cool!
Yeah I love my video ipod, I have no real intention of getting another ipod. 30gig doesn’t sound like a lot to some people, but I really have TONS of space on mine still. One of these days I’ll get around to uploading all of my cds onto it and not just my 15 favorites. LOL

What? 30 Gigs is not a lot? I only have a measly 1GB Mp3 player and I can’t fill it up. Granted, I am a ruthless deleter
No, I haven’t seen the MS product though.
