Please keep this thread quiet, as the shock of seeing his ZEN further embarassed may cause COLEMAN to release a dirty bomb in Band Class -
Theres a new IPOD and its the 5G. I SERIOUSLY hate APPLE - but they may have finally done something to get me to not purchase a second-hand refurbisehd ipod-product: added video to their IPOD. The new iPOD's come in 30 and 60 gigs, which is more than enough for music, and probably just enough to slide on some of your favorite Telly Shows. The battery still "only" gets 15 hours out of it (seriously - who is away from a plug for 15 fucking hours) for music, and I heard 2-3 hours for the video. At first I was thinking, hell thats pretty weak for the video (and it kinda is), but video really isnt the main drive of the ipod - its the music. The video usage I can easily see being directed to people who want a lil variety on the train-ride to work (me for example). Shows like AQUA TEENS, HARVEY BIRDMAN, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT - hell even LOST are perfect for this sucker (in case you missed a show the day before. . .im sure folks will start releasing shows in the m4k format very soon) - as the iPOD would start getting charged as soon as you get to your desk.
With the student discount - brings total price to less than 290.
Will be getting mine on FRIDAY.
