iPod because i care

Oh! Lovely technological wonder of the techworld, I am please to make your acquaintance.

I had the opportunity to get to the Apple Store (I know, I know...it took me THAT long?) and see the iPod touch in person. Let's just say that it was along the lines of seeing Coldplay in concert - a purely religious experience. I mean, simply looking at it I was salivating. Of course, this wanderlust lasted for all of about two seconds during which period I actually picked it up.

At first I was amused which quickly became severe disgruntlement when I realized that some miscreant with a hole in their head decided to change the language on the iPod...to Russian. The disgruntlement increased when the next one I attempted to pick up was even worse...Tagalog.

*LE SIGH*

Anywho, it is exactly like the iPhone without the added contract obligations with AT&T which means it's even cooler in my opinion. Oh the dreams I am having about it are magical.

But I was disappointed to discover that they remixed the colors and they are LAME. No more orange! It's highly disturbing to think that they changed the colors from ORANGE to a color that looks like someone puked up seaweed onto their shuffle.

All that iPod has to do now is to increase the capacity on this thing and I am IN. I mean considering that my current iPod video capacity is 30GB and I am about to fill it up entirely between movies, shows and any other free junk that I've gotten from iTunes, when I upgrade my iPod I want it to be as big as possible. But I digress.

SFGate had a pretty good review of it yesterday, or at least one that I could identify with.
