Technolust set in yesterday with refreshed iPods. The classic iPods all have color screens now and the prices are very attractive. The only thing stopping me from getting a new one is the fact I already have one… in the same capacity that I’m looking at. I’m really tempted by the album art and a little by the show-off-your-photos ability, plus the Aqua styled interface is a really nice bonus to me. Actually the more I think about it, the more tempted I am by the 60GB iPod. The price isn’t bad at all (Hey Joe- how much did you pay for your 60GB photo iPod again?) and the capacity would last me for a very long time - not that I have any issues now. Hrmm… I need another excuse (or excuses) to justify the need for a new iPod.
Reasons for a new 60GB iPod Photo:
- Backup Home Folder
- Even Better - Clone My Primary HD To It As A Disk Image For A Real Backup Solution
- Pure Want…
- Did I Mention Pure Want?
The new Podcasting stuff is a little interesting, but having been doing RSS since Podcasting first hit the net- I’m not sure it’s as super cool as some people think. I’ll see how it works out in iTunes and if it’s interface is worthy of actually subscribing to something.
Florida! Florida was a good trip, everyone has changed since I last saw them about 3 years ago (some much longer). I didn’t get to swim once and it rained every day. And on the last day I got to rapid fire Tigerize three Macs before I got on a plane at 8. Still, I enjoyed myself.
I paid far too much.
$599
But then again, I did get nearly every accessory they offered for it. The AV cable, the photo dock, the case, USB and Firewire cables.
