Well Apple... you sorta let me down, and sorta didn't

So today was Apple's media event.

It was exciting, and a let down. iPod Nano (the fatty). ugly and not something.

The iPod "classic" pretty much a thinner model of the 5th generation iPod video blah blah. 160gb, neat but I don't even fill my 40gb Color iPod. So really, 160gb? Don't care

iPod Touch... almost what I was hoping for... ALMOST.

As I said before, WIFI, not interested, however now that it's been revealed that safari is also included.. well now... that makes things interesting. Like I said, I didn't care about sharing music over WIFI, however being able to browse the web, maybe check my gmail, my calendar, etc... that has a nice place in my utility belt.

I have an N800 internet tablet right now, which is great, but also not quite what I expected, so this iPod I have quite a bit more faith in fulfilling my needs.

My biggest complaint... the HDD.. or rather the flash media... "but's it 8mm thick." whoopty fuckin' do! I think Steve has forgotten what the purpose of an iPod is... despite his earlier claims about the iPod being a DAP, and a good one. Not a radio, not a this, not a that... apparently it's all good until Steve decides it's not.

So it seems that Steve thinks that if we want WiFi and a next gen UI, we don't actually plan to listen to or carry with us, our music. I'm no audiophile, but 16gbs doesn't even hold my music library... How about this? Stop worrying about how damn small you can make it, and make it useful. I mean, really how big would it be with a 40 or 60 gb hard drive? As big as a 5th gen iPod, Oh no, the terror!!!!

So we'll see, how it goes. It should arrive October 2nd...
