Is anyone else going to get the new iPod Touch?! It looks and functions just like the iPhone, without the phone part. Here are the specs:

1. same size screen as the iPhone, but it's even thinner (eight-millimeters)

2. same multi-touch interface found on the iPhone handset

3. a 3.5-inch widescreen display, the ability to flick through your photos

4. WiFi. Yes, WiFi!

5. battery life: 22-hours when playing back audio and 5-hours when watching video

6. 8GB and 16GB flavors and will be priced at $299 and $399

Even though, as a man, I am drawn to these types of gadgets like a crow to a shiny nickel, I have yet to purchase an iPod. Not a big fan of iTunes and the whole DRM scene.

BUT if they ever do an Touch with say, an 80GB drive, I will be the first to line up for one.

I hate DRM too -- but I'm a slave to Stevo!

Did anyone else chuckle at Steve Jobs' attempt to paint the iphone price cut as a philanthropic move, rather than one to stimulate sales (which have been disappointing despite the hype)? "It's very clear we have a breakthrough product on our hands, but it's also clear that many can afford it, some can't. We'd like to make it affordable to even more folks going into this holiday season." He insisted that they would have hit its declared target of a million iPhones sold without the price cut. :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Why would anyone want to watch a 3 1/2 inch video?

As I get older, I need things to get bigger, not smaller.

I'm a NEW slave to The Steve; I just switched at home from a PC to a very groovy mac mini.

As soon as my rich uncle gets out of the poor house, it's a black macbook for me.

Mmmm. black macalicious.

As always, the Mac loyalists get screwed royally by Stevo. In the end though, like a beaten spouse, they'll be back for more abuse with the release of any new Apple product.
