I want one

An Ipod that is. Regular readers will know that my birthday passed recently and I’ve yet to get anything off my mum because I opted to have my party instead. I agreed to wait patiently until the end of the month. Still, I couldn’t think of anything that I desired. A watch, maybe, but such a prospect didn’t exactly thrill me. No, I wanted something I could look forward to and an Ipod met that description well. I’ve enjoyed using my Sony Walkman a great deal but at 1GB, I filled it up all too quickly for my liking. Don’t get me wrong, I could and did delete and replace stuff that I liked at the time but I’d prefer it to be all there, personally. Not only do they have more space. They’re just pretty darn cool.

Which bought to my next dilemma. Which one do I get? Well I ruled out the shuffle on the basis that I like to see what track I’m listening too. I’m one of those who recognizes a song but gets really annoyed when I can’t place it and it’s common that I can’t. Space would be an issue also. I wouldn’t scrap my current MP3 because it was too limiting only to get an Ipod that suffered from the same problem. The Nano was more interesting. Especially its 8GB option. I sided against this because I’d heard they break fairly easy, because you get more than thrice as much space for an extra £20 with a normal Ipod and because the normal Ipod isn’t that big to begin with anyway. Basically, the negatives outweigh the positives from where I’m standing.

So I just went for the Ipod. Or at least, that’s what I will go for and at the weekend hopefully. It’s much an improvement from the original model having gone through four large changes in its lifespan and is considered a part of the Ipod fifth generation. It’s quite frankly the bollocks and I can’t wait to get my hands on one. 30GB’ll be quite enough to handle my music, I think. That’s far too much space anyway so though I considered it, the 80GB model would surely be money down the drain. It tempted me, I’ll admit but I don’t see how I’m going to exceed 30GB and by the time that I do, if ever that be a date, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to get myself a new and much improved model for my money – especially with the Iphone not far off the horizon. It looks terrifically sexy in black too not to mention that it can play videos should I want it too.
