iPod and iTunes 2.0
Despite that fact that this whole ‘everything prefixed with a lower-case i’ thing is pretty 1999 (hey, at least the computers don’t come in colors any more), Apple introduced today the iPod and iTunes 2. The iPod is a digital music player with a 5Gb hard drive that weights in at 6.4 ounces and is about the size of a pack of cards. What is quite amazing about it is that it’s got 10 hours of batter life, and can be charged via the FireWire cable that’s used to drag n drop music files to it like a hard drive. An interesting user interface provides the listener with quite a lot of control when away from your digital hub (ie, Macintosh computer), including playlist selection and native language selection. iTunes 2 is simply a newer version of the popular iTunes software, which will be required to connect to the new device. At $399, it ain’t cheap especially for you PC users out there, as you’d have to buy a Mac to use it. Nyah. I also noticed that the new device looks exactly like the MP3 player that was included with Developer Preview releases of MacOS X, prior to the Public Beta which included iTunes instead.

Not quite exactly like the Public Beta MP3 player: check out the screenshot.
$400! Are they kidding?! Revolutionary, what?! Super-refined mp3 player/portable harddrive, absolutly. But still, $400 dollars is a *tad* expensive. $200, thats my final answer — Regis (Jobs).
Uhm… it’s 400, sure.. but it kicks the shit out of anything else on the market and has a fucking FIREWIRE connection. Can you say 400 mbps? And it charges in one hour to give you a total of 10 hours listening time, all over the firewire cable it’s connected to your computer by. And it’s less than an inch thick. If that’s not revolutionary, i don’t know what is. Every mac user will buy one, not only because of its apple brand but also because it’s a great product.
The 1.5 inch “hard drive” thats in it costs $399 retail. $400 it is. Wank elsewhere…
