iPod therefore I am

I love my iPod. No, really I mean it I LOVE my iPod. I use it from 8.30 in the morning to 7.15 at night on weekdays almost non stop. And I have a mini, not even a proper one (it’s on the wish list, no worries). Anyway I was reading the Times and saw this article. It really made me laugh
(^_^)



My good old iPod mini


iPod therefore I am

from The Times Online

Steve Jobs’s Apple took over from Sony, creator of the Walkman, in conjuring up indispensable products we hadn’t realised we even needed until he presented them to us all in an iconically cute white plastic shell.

Apple spawned stylish computers that didn’t require a degree in applied mathematics just to open up a new document; portable music players that could store every great song ever recorded, and also some Simply Red; video iPods; and mobile phones that add spice to keeping in touch.

Given that it has been a year since Apple up-dated its iPods (in technological terms, the equivalent of the Palaeozoic era), a new generation of iPods has long been feverishly mooted; particularly by the sort of Apple devotees who yearn to live in a white iHouse (to be followed six months later by the launch of a bigger, better equipped, classier, black iHouse), equipped with an iBath you could fill remotely on your way home from work; an iOven that would download iRecipes from your iMac and then iCook them; iRadiators that would glow discreetly when in sleep mode; and (why not?) maybe even a cute little iSpouse.

But while we look forward to owning the latest iPod – wi-fi enabled, with video, toaster function, espresso spout and microwave snack-heat-er – many loyal iPod owners will also be hoping that in its rush always to be first with the new new thing, Apple will deliver a product which, if it does occasionally struggle with battery life, or frozen screens, can be fixed simply.

It’s not that we don’t covet the newest iPod as much as the next Apple tart, just that we wouldn’t mind also being able easily to iRepair our current model.
