question of the day: ipods

January 9th 2007

So, the Macworld Expo hits today, complete with the highly anticipated Steve Jobs keynote. The last two major Apple conferences were somewhat anticlimactic, so expectations are high for this one.

Whenever the Expo rolls around I start thinking about my iPod, which, being small and white, is a perfect reflection of some of my primary physical characteristics. I own a first generation Nano. My roommate, Dave, prefers the larger iPods. He’s 6’5″. Go figure.

So, what kind of music player do you own? Explain to me how it reflects your physical or emotional characteristics. Go on. Do my bidding.

    I have a first-generation Nano as well. It is small and black, and I am neither of those things. It is actually the opposite of me, because I am a very un-sleek person. Maybe it’s a compensatory-type thing, like how aging men buy sports cars?

    I too own a first-generation Nano. It is small and black, like the little English mould spores that are still trying to kill me. I hate this country.

    I’m coming home soon (8 months)……… have two super chicken burritos and 10 maki rolls waiting for me.

    I have a 30GB white G5 iPod. I love it, mostly because the interface makes sense to me, it holds all my music and podcasts, etc. I have it in a see-through plastic shell with belt clip and rubberized corners, because I’m uselessly clumsy and drop crap all the time.

    Now stop stalling and post about the iPhone, faggot.

    I’m 6’6″ and own a 30GB white 4th-gen. And just like I wear steel-toed boots because people tend to step on my feet ALL THE DAMN TIME on the bus, my iPod has a rubberized sleeve.

    As for the iPhone, I’m already on Cingular (as are most of my friends and all of my family.) If the data access plan isn’t absurdly expensive then June will be a very good month for me.

    I have a latest-gen iPod mini. Very shiny. I’ve noticed you rather like fondling it.

    60GB iPod, generation just prior to the video models. I’m sure you know all about that theory regarding being overwhelmed by too many options to choose from. It’s a perfect example.
