Anyone want to buy…

Posted in , and on Tue, 05th Feb 2008 at 14:55

Does anyone want to buy an iPod Touch? Apple just announced a 32GB model, which would actually be enough to store all of my music and a fair few movies. I'd shell out the additional €100 on the price-tag without question, but I don't think the full asking price of $499 (presumably €499 when it shows up on the Apple Ireland store) is reasonable when I already have the 16GB model.

Why oh why must companies continue to make better products?

How much are you asking for it?

Catch-802.11

I love living in the future.

I plan to take part in Matthew Baldwin's NaNoReMo, so after work today I went to Eason's to pick up a copy of Catch-22. When I got there, to the despair of my inner quiz enthusiast, I couldn't remember who wrote the book. "Begins with a 'J'," I thought. Too bad the books are arranged alphabetically by author's surname.

Did I face the dreadful prospect of searching the entire fiction section of one of the city's biggest bookshops? Or, worse, admitting to the cute shop assistant that I didn't know who wrote one of last century's most influential novels?

Like hell I did. I whipped out my shiny new iPod—note that it's not possible to simply take out this device; it must be whipped out for proper effect—and let it sniff about for open wifi networks. With the satisfying tap of a few keys I was heading to 'H' to grab a copy of Joseph Heller's masterpiece.

You've Got the Touch!

Or more accurately—and putting the Transformers soundtrack to the side for just a moment—I've got the touch. The iPod Touch that is. It arrived this morning. It's the greatest thing ever. Sample dialog from my phone conversation with the delivery man:

Him
Are you at home?
Me
No, but I can be there in five minutes. I'm just around the corner, on Barrow Street.
Him
Oh, are you in Google?
Me
Erm… yes.
Him
Great, I'll drop it off there then. I have some other things to deliver there too.

When I went to collect it from reception there was a big pile of identical little brown boxes sitting there. I'm not the only one playing with a new toy today.
