fux0r.

So, less than one month ago, I bought two iPods, one 40gb, one 20gb, for just under $1k. I had looked at them for a long time, obviously, and held out for two reasons:

1) Battery life = teh sux

2) They're too big

You see where I'm going with this.

So, Tuesday, Mr Jobs announces the new iPod mini. That solves problem #2. I don't care about the 4GB issue or the price, and anyone who is complaining about the price is a complete and unmitigated moron anyway. It's still competitive with the market, and 4GB is enough for most or all of the music I'd listen to on a daily basis. I wanted a tiny capacious player, something to replace my MD with, since NetMD doesn't work with the Mac as of yet. (Hi, Sony! Blow me!)

What's that, did you say MD?

So, I could have bought a new MD player for the same price (probably) as my iPod, continued to use my existing Minidiscs, and still had the glorious 50+ hours of playback on a single AA battery? Sure, so I'd have to use it with a PC, but hell, I have so many of those, I leave Thinkpads in out of the way places so I don't have to carry them from point to point.

1GB!

After you get done blowing me, Sony, you can kiss my squirrel-lovin' ass.

Anyone want a 40GB iPod, cheap?
