Sep 15th, 2006 What’s 22GB’s Anyway, Right?

blacknano.jpg22 gigabytes. That’s basically all you’re giving up by getting the 8GB black iPod nano (still a lowercase ‘N’, by the way). Well, there’s that and the video playback. And the games. And the bigger screen.

But besides that, you’re getting the same great music player. Right?

I’ll end my sarcasm for a moment; just long enough to point out that as of last Tuesday, you’ll pay the same price for a 30GB video iPod as you will for a nano with less than half the storage, no video functionality, smaller screen, and no color options.

Apparently they think we’re dumb, blinded consumer folk who will gladly give up all that for a fancy, anodized-aluminum, thinner-than-a-pencil, as-small-as-a-business-card case. Sure.

(Oh, man, I want one so bad.)

Hi Sean – I saw the neatest bumper sticker on a conversion van, and thought of you. It read, “I’d rather be driving my MacIntosh®!”

Remember, “an Apple® a day…” (hee-hee)

So when do I get mine? Yes, I am one of those poor pathetic customers whose current iPod is about to fall apart…and of course a new, pretty and shiny one sounds really good. Maybe right after I finally get MY new phone. A better one. A prettier one. that one. (the BlackBerry, that is.)
