The iPod updates are out now. I've been eagerly waiting for this. I'm still back on the black & white screen 4G and extremely tempted by video functionality. Don't know if I'll sink a rack of cash into iTunes shows, but I *am* a sucker for some kick ass podcasts. That, and my 4G hates podcasts encoded in AAC with chapter stops. Hates them. Refuses to play with me if I introduce them.
I managed to sufficiently ignore work for the good hour that Apple's "Showtime" event took place as I read live blog coverage. Immediately, I knew I'd get one of the new 5G's -- 80 gigs? Brilliant!
Then iLounge took the wind out of my sails. Strangely enough, given my previous statements regarding future purchases of iTMS shows/movies, what most disappointed me was the lack of improvement in screen resolution. 320 x 240? Booo! Okay, I'll admit it: I haven't tried. Maybe it looks great. Maybe it's the best thing ever. I don't know. But the problem is, I don't know if I want to know anymore.
What else is coming out down the line, Steve? If I buy this 5G Part Deux, will I be burned like I was back when I bought my 4G? You didn't even wait six months to take the wind out of my sails and leave me with a sadly deflated and remarkably monochrome iPod as you unveiled the lovely, vibrant iPod Photos.
Anyone reading this? More importantly, can anyone reading this make the decision for me? And as a word of warning: I have no interest in switching to [insert name of another company that makes mp3 players]. I'm an iPod guy, what can I say?
