Ok, if it were April 1st, I wouldn't believe this: iPod nano, but it's not April or even the 1st of the month.
If a company can make an MP3 player that small, what's to prevent 1lb laptops that do everything (or most) of what I want on a daily basis?
This tiny thing sports a color screen, 2-4GB of space (that's a huge "thumb drive"), and only ways 1.5 ounces. What else ways 1.5 ounces? I certainly haul around books heavier than that.
k, Apple. When's the Newton coming back? Tomorrow? Can I preorder? Please?

I was surprised to see the size (small physically and large storagewise) of some of the "thumb drives" and associated technologies lately.

Speaking of which, I need to post some blogging ideas I've got. The tops of the mountains weren't high enough. Pluto too close. The Milky Way to confining. More later. ;)
Posted by: Benjamin at September 16, 2005 05:54 PMI mostly use my iPod for music, so the nano is totally pointless for me personally. Speaking of music, have you bought a music CD recently? Depending on the Publisher, they're starting to lock them down now so that you can only use the software on the CD to burn the tracks to your hard drive, it's really weird. The particular one I bought this week was produced by Sparrow and only allowed you to save in WMP format, not iTunes, which totally stinks, b/c then you can transfer the CD to the iPod. Anyways, just wondered if you've come across that...
