I'm getting that itch again. That "I need a new shiny gadget" itch.I just upgraded to a new MacBook Pro with VMWare Fusion, and am ecstatic about that. I even put in an order for a new TiVo HD last night. So that's covered. But when it comes to my iPod, I've got Apple's low-end first generation Shuffle, and an outdated, trying to die, iPod Photo with 60 Gigs on it. Neither device plays TV shows or movies. And clearly, neither device comes close to making me think its an iPhone.
This upcoming week, I've got a two-day business trip to Dallas, Texas. For the flight out and back, it'd be awesome to have an iPod Touch with me. I've tinkered with the iPod Touch at the nearby Apple Store, and coveted its Web access via WiFi and multimedia on the go. Could this be the trip where idle hands and available credit form a perfect storm that see me adding yet another unnecessary device to the arsenal?
Right now, I'd give it an 80/20 chance it's not. But part of me wants to get up early tomorrow and make an Apple Store run.
I know the feeling, as of late I've had a similar hankering for something Touchy. I just wish there was a voip app for it, and a earphone/mic piece would work with it.
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on this. I may get one next week when it hits Taiwan.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I've heard many bad things about the device (e.g. can't edit calendar events).
Bleh.. I might just get one anyway... my justification is having made enough money from Apple stock to purchase one ;).
I hope all is well for you!
For what it's worth, I'm still resisting. There's something to be said for bringing a book and listening to music. (Sounds old fashioned, doesn't it?)
