Which New iPod are You Getting?
Apple today introduced a new line of iPods. From the iPod classic (the iPod formerly known as the iPod), to the iPod touch (like the iPhone, but without a phone), by way of the new iPod nano (aka, phatty). Which one is for you?
I’ve opted for a silver iPod classic. I have a huge music library, and the ability to put almost all of it on an iPod is something I’ve been waiting for for a long time. My son Perceval wants the iPod touch; it’s cool (and, I admit, the idea of a handheld web browser is interesting), but with only a maximum of 16 GB of storage, I couldn’t use it for music. Finally, the new iPod nano looks too weird for my tastes; it’s too small, too wide, and just doesn’t work for me.
What about you? If you’re planning to get a new iPod, add a comment saying which one and why. Now that there are four choices (counting the shuffle), it is getting harder to choose.
Probably the 160GB black one, it holds my current 148GB iTunes database, with
little spare space, and maybe more after a clean-up.
It’ll be tight, because 160 GB, after formatting, comes to about 149 GB.
