I Don’t Want to Buy a New iPod
And I haven’t bought a new one now for, let’s see, a couple of years. The last one I bought was a 160 GB classic; back when there were two sizes (80 GB and 160 GB), the year before the classic got downgraded to 120 GB. I’ve got a nano, bought around the same time, a shuffle – the good one, with buttons – and a 1st generation iPod touch. But I don’t want a new one.
You have to understand, the main reason I have all those iPods is for my work: I write about the iPod, so I need to have the different models to explore their interfaces and understand their features. But after Apple’s presentation yesterday, there’s nothing enticing about the new models – or the revisions of old models, to be more correct.
I was actually hoping for something new, to feed my tech lust. I wanted a tablet, an e-book reader, or something different to be able to play with. But, no, Apple has let me down, and I won’t be buying a new iPod for a while. Most likely, given the way they release new iPods, until this time next year.
