They're lovely aren't they? I already have the silver original, which I love. It has a pink silicon cover now too. I really like these new colours, but I'd have to buy one of each as I can't decide which I like best. Maybe one for each genre of music I like...hmmm... now there's an idea....
I have one of these! It arrived on Wednesday. It's really gorgeous. It so small. Even though I have a 40Gig iPod which is half full of mostly music (some podcasts and some photos) 1Gig is still quite a lot of space. I've never used my 40Gig iPod in 'shuffle mode' as I generally like to hear an album all the way through, just like it was intended (I tend not to buy compilation albums for the same reason). However having the new Shuffle on 'shuffle' is a complete pleasure. I can remember which albums I've loaded onto it and look forward to each track, safe in the knowledge it will be something I really like.
My Shuffle does not like Keane. It has yet to play a single track from Hopes & Fears. It's a shame because I love that album. We're not going to fall out about it though, not yet anyway. We're all entitled to our own music taste. I assumed (incorrectly as it happened) that my iPod was my bitch and not the other way around!
Yeah I know. I went on about how I was looking forward to going, but actually it was one of the most disappointing MacExpo's I've attended. And I've been to LOADS, by the way.
I don't know why, it may be because of podcasts and the internet and such, but there wasn't really anything new there. I just felt that I knew it all already. No big surprises to be had.
The best I had hoped for was the new iPod Shuffles to be available to buy. I've wanted one of those babies ever since they were introduced in September. The Apple Store have been saying OCTOBER availability forever. We did see them, they had demo models. They are damn cute too. Tiny, tiny, shiny, shiny.
I did however buy a bluetooth mouse for my PowerBook G4. I have a small wired mouse, but it's been misbehaving for months now and I'd decided I needed a scroll wheel. It took me a week to get it to work properly and even now it seems to disconnect without warning and I can't start it up again for another day. So, not a total success, but I'm working on it!
Don't worry, I haven't been put off MacExpo. I'll be there again next
year. How can I resist a trade show where the Ladies loos are
completely empty whatever time you visit them? It's BLISS I tell you!
