My new iPod
Happiness abounded this week as my new iPod arrived on Tuesday. The guys in the mailroom at work were probably pretty annoyed with me calling every hour to find out if my package had come in. I didn’t really call them every hour, OK maybe every other hour.
Anyway, I’m very pleased with the new iPod. Here are the details. It’s got a 30 GB hard drive for music, photos, and whatever else I please. It has a color screen for showing photos and album art and a very slick looking menu system for navigating the iPod. It came with a power charging brick, a USB to dock connector cable, one set of my very own Apple signature white iPod earbuds (now I can make my own fun iPod commercials of my silhouette self dancin’ around in my white earbuds!)
I’m very happy with the size of this iPod. I can’t imagine having the mini, it would almost be too small! It’s just a little bit thicker than the 4th Gen. iPods, a little bit larger (but thinner) than my cell phone, and takes up less space in my pocket than my wallet.
To enable me to use my new toy in the car, I got a mounting stand to hold my iPod where I can reach it comfortably, a cassette adapter, and a car charger so I never run out of battery. I am fairly pleased with the sound quality of the cassette adapter. Besides, my car speakers aren’t all that great anyway, so it’s not like I could get incredible sounds anyway, so it’s not worth paying for anything more expensive like a line-in solution.
Well, that’s all I got for now. Here are some pictures of the beautiful iPod. Watch for my next post about pod-casting and my thoughts on this new phenomenon.
