This got forwarded to me by several people in a day, so undoubtedly many of you have seen it, I’m posting it anyway because I did want to post about my new favorite gadget, the iPod Nano Video. This is the first time I’ve had video on my iPod and it’s really really small and really really cute. I was worried that the video would be too small on the Nano and then when I got it I realized - let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that even on the largest iPod we’re having anything approximating a theatrical experience. Now I watch all video on my ipod realizing that 30% of the enjoyment is the simple novelty of it. Great gadget. Also i highly suggest this rip program to put any DVD on your iPod.
That… it… it… flam - flames. Flames, on the side of my face, heathing… breathle - , heathing breaths. Heathing breath…
Careful, it’s getting hot in here….
Yeah, a lot of you are shaking your heads with every iPhone post. But here’s one of the benefits no-one ever talks about ANYWHERE - but here.
You get free shit by letting people touch your phone. No shit. I know they have about 400 of them in Apple Stores all free for people to touch/play/grope all within the bounds of the law - but there’s nothing like seeing one in the wild. It’s like going to a zoo, and seeing a zebra compared with going to the Africa Outback and seeing a zebra. Technically, the same thing, but completely different experiences. Completely.
This weekend, while just sending a text message in a Blockbuster - the dude behind the counter asked if it was an iPhone - I said yes, let him grope it for a while, and when he handed it back to me, he said:
Hey, just take Ghost Rider - have it back in a couple days, cool?
Cool? Totally cool dude. Sure, a small part of me felt like I was a pimp, and the iPhone was my whore - but in the end - TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) on this little baby just went down by $6.99.
Beat THAT Samsung.
