iPod Video
Unfortunately, some time over the past weekend my trusty 4G iPod and I parted company. It’s a long story but basically she’s gone. She may some day return but I don’t hold much hope. The idea of walking to work sans tunes wasn’t a nice one. My new phone doesn’t have a radio so I spent my walk to work listening to the traffic while avoiding the people handing out free copies of Herald AM and Metro (they’re a little easier to avoid when wearing earphones, kinda like how chuggers are also easier to avoid when wearing earphones.) So anyway, on lunch from work I did a quick scoot about Grafton Street to see what current stock of iPods were in the shops. 4 shops ventured into and only the 3G store in Stephen’s Green had the iPod video in stock. I figured that since I was buying a new iPod the video was the only option. I did toy with the idea of a nano but the video won out in the end.
I ended up getting the black 30GB version and I have to say it is quite sexy indeed. Noticably thinner and lighter than my previous baby. The first thing I noticed about it was the quality of the display. My old iPod was monochrome and this was the first time I had really played with a colour screen version. It really displays photos, album art and videos beautifully. The extra screen real estate is an advantage too. I’m still playing with it all but so far I’m loving it.
