3+3=6

my first encounter with an ipod was a few summers back it was a first generation-the battery life didn't last an hour. having to re-charge it constantly-i never used when i was outside. wrapping bus covers has had apple advertising on them for the past year & half. here's my take on the mystery of the one of the Biggest ideas since Mac screens came in the size of index cards.

the cost for a good one is $400, storage to rivaling my computer, that price is too steep you can buy a shuffle for $99 slim but now it's square-where you can't see what you're listening to because it doesn't have that sleek selection menu window the more expensive models have. i am sure you're sitting there wondering why i am dissing on such a fine piece of electronics-the answer is coming, you'll have to keep reading.

back to these pretty square nano's, mini, ipods with hypersensitive menu buttons--scrolling is the only way to scroll to your favorite song. a few friends have told me that they're too sensitive-after selecting if the motion isn't Perfect sync'd, they have to start all over again-to select the same song, album. Wow! four hundred clams to have to re-scroll through a menu function (reminding me of my outdated alarm clock!)

i am authentic Old School-carrying an old repeatedly dropped walkman that came out 3+ years ago; only playing cd's-that i have to burn myself. waterproof, shock proof & comes with extra base options along with a pretty great menu living in a city of rain & only using hair band to holding it closed.i am active & klutzy & no matter how many times it gets dropped it still plays my cd's.

i like the idea of the ipod, small, smart & can hold all my cd's-i won't buy one till the ipod comes shock & waterproof!! (considering the price that should come incl.) till then i have to lug my commuter walkman-thanks Sony!

dear readers i am not writing this in Hope having Very own apple gadget; please don't send me one. i really like my $60 beater walkman that is currently playing "his&hers" a great compulation album & has logged enough frequent flier miles to be gold member on some random what's customer service airline.
