A bite at the Apple iPod

I was thinking what to get....(appart from clothes or shoes)...a plug-in DVD player? a Web-Cam? Then I came across the iPod family. There was the iPod shuffle that costs $69 for the 512MB (120 songs) and another that costs $99 for the 1GB (240 songs). There was the iPod Nano $149 (1GB 240 songs), $199 (2GB 500 songs) and the $249 (4GB 1000songs). There's the iPod $299 (30GB 7500 songs) and the $399 (60 GB 15000 songs). Each comes in classic white or dramatic black. There's the iPod mini as well but I didn't check up about it, I know that it comes in a variety of flashy colours like blue, green, yellow, pink and so forth. I'm considering and weighing my decisions about getting the 60GB iPod (the one in the picture above). What if I get it, use it for a couple of months and then chuck it aside? That's kind of a waste of a rough estimation of RM1300+ after converting $399 into ringgit malaysia. There are pretty high possibilities that I would get bored of an iPod after a few months and then later regret and wished that I had gotten something else instead. So, back to the 30GB iPod. It supports up to 15,000 songs like I had mentioned before and up to 150 hours of video on a 2.5-inch QVGA color display, iPod gives you the ultimate music experience — sight and sound — in a lighter, thinner design. With a 320 x 240-pixel QVGA color display, iPod lets you view photos and watch MPEG-4 and H.264 video wherever you go. Incredibly, iPod will fit in even more pockets than ever. Measuring less than half an inch thin, 60GB model is over 10 percent thinner than the fourth-generation 30GB iPod. Optional iPod Camera Connector lets you shoot all day, then transfer the pictures from your camera to your iPod. The 60GB iPod offers up to 20 hours of music playback between charges. The iPod battery can be charged up to 80 percent capacity in 2 hours; a full charge takes 4 hours. So, an Apple iPod is definitely worth it except...this is one expensive toy.
