Where is my iPod
I was pretty eagerly waiting for Apple’s iPod announcement yesterday, but in the end I’m disappointed. They spread the features I wanted across two devices, instead of having one great product. I was looking forward to going to the store today (which wouldn’t have been possible since they won’t be available until the end of the month) and buying one, but now I think I’m going to wait for another iteration.
My iPod is widescreen, 80gb, wifi, and touchscreen. Overnight I download the Colbert Report and it is transcoded and uploaded to the iPod so I can watch it on the train in to work. Once this is a reality I’ll jump on it!
The other annoucements were a bit lame too. The new nano looks clunky. Do you know anyone who has ever bought a ringtone? Apple wants you to pay a buck to turn music you may already own into one?? I don’t get it. The online store is now available on your iPhone or iPod touch, but I don’t buy music online so I’m not bothered. I buy CDs or vinyl because I want some physical representation of the music, and then I mostly listen to mp3s…
Great gigs coming up in the next few months for me:
- Besnard Lakes
- The Gossip
- Tragically Hip (??)
- Murcof @ the Greenwich planetarium
- Cowboy Junkies play the Trinity Sessions album at the Royal Albert Hall
- AMIINA
- Ulrich Schnauss
- Arcade Fire at Alexandra Palace
- and finally Portishead ATP in December!!!
Hope you are all having a music filled autumn
