New Signature iPods -- which one do you want?

I thought it was about time I seriously considered getting an iPod.

The upside and downside to ipods, of course, is that there’s always a new one. They become obsolete faster than computers, it seems.

Being a cheapskate, that’s kept me from getting one… but you know, everyone’s gotta cave in sometime. I like music, and I do travel, and it’d be useful for me. I just don’t want to get stuck with an instantly obsolete device.

So it was with all that in mind that I googled for “new ipods”, wanting to see if any new new ipods were out, or if they were just around the corner.

Much to my shock and delight, I immediately found this:

Wow… All these cool new Signature iPods are coming out, just like the U2 one.

There’s:
The Coldplay Signature iPod,
Toby Keith Signature iPod,
R. Kelly Signature iPod,
Metallica Signature iPod,
Hootie & The Blowfish Signature iPod,
Maroon 5 Signature iPod,
Guns N Roses Signature iPod,
Nirvana Signature iPod,
Good Charlotte Signature iPod,
P. Diddy Signature iPod,
The Ramones Signature iPod,
Cat Power Signature iPod,
and even the perverse G.G. Allin iPod.

Whew! That’s a lotta iPods!

Now… I’m not really into her music, but the Christina Aguilera one… my, my! Apple really knows “tactile feedback” at this stage in the game! They must have learned a lot from changing the scrollwheel constantly.

So which one would you pick?

I thought you should know apple is coming out with another video ipod, but with a screen the entire length of the current ipod with a touch screen..If you care anything about viewing photos or watching dvd movies on your ipod I’d wait for one of these…I know I’d like one. I’ve got programs that can rip a dvd movie to my harddrive and then it can put it on an apple ipod video…thing about current ipods is that the screen is too small to really enjoy video on it.http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/09/apple-still-at-work-on-true-video-ipod/

Thank you for that information. Looks like I get to play the waiting game again.

I don’t see why I (or anyone) would ever watch a movie on it, however, even if the screen was the size of the unit. It’d be like watching a movie on your hand – a cool trick, but it boils down technology for technology’s sake.

I mean, sure, if live in New York, Boston or London and are always on a subway, it makes more sense to me. News makes sense to me, too, and other content the image doesn’t matter too much – that’d be good for plane when you don’t want to take the laptop out.

But movies a few inches large? I think I’d rather close my eyes and pretend to watch a movie. There, the screen is as large as I want, and the sound as 3dimensional as all getout. I’m sure it’d my mindpod would have more impact! :slight_smile:

then you’d be just as happy with one of those signature ipods…cool thing about ipods is you can store virtually anything on them from the computer.

Did you actually read to see what the new Christina Aguilera iPod does, presumably with it’s “touch” wheel?

6

omg i can’t believe i didn’t read those…i thought it was for reall..i was getting all excited.

7

I’d think you’d be getting even more excited now.

Look at what the Christina one does, for god’s sake!

MUCH more useful than 3" of video, IMHO.

i read it..the R.Kelly one was funny all songs 14 years or younger. I actually really like Aguilera’s music..she can actually sing unlike BSpears and the others.

But Britney goes for the -none guy.

10

Britney went downhill after breaking up with Justin Timberlake…she went all nympho slut monkey after him.

11

She went for the Instant Jerk.

The supposed “bad guy” described by evolutionary psychology who goes around getting the girls pregnant, to be taken care of by someone else.

12

which leads me to believe how long is it going to last. I really could have used some Instant Jerk last summer when I dated this beautiful girl that was drawn to the asshole type badboy. I’m sexually aggressive, but I really have a hard time playing the mean guy.

P.S. i love the snoop dog ipod…hidden weed compartment and fold out water pipe..lol my suitemates next door would love one of those..dang stoners.

Probably caught reliving some past abuse. Victims revictimize themselves constantly with choice of mate.

Good thing you got away – if you weren’t actually an a**hole, she’d do all the right things to make you into one (at least around her). Then you would’ve felt even worse.

Best to be with someone you’re allowed to be healthy around.

You can play with them to good effect.

One thing you can do is go next door, and announce “I notice you left your keyhole in the door… the GOOD NEWS is, I found it, before someone else made off with it”. Then leave, and listen through the wall as “high” drama ensues.

Lots of ways you can amuse yourself at their expensive.
