I went to Circuit City Saturday and bought an iPod Classic! Why? A couple of reasons:
- Aaron and I just got paid another sum of money for advertising on our podcast.
- My old Nano was overfilling, and my library (including podcasts) was over 10GB.
- I got tired of seeing so many “convert to iPod” things on YouTube downloaders, DVD rippers and video conversion applications.
- I want videos on my iPod!
16GB would probably do for the Touch but it’s $450! I’d rather spend $250 for a slightly smaller screen and 5 times the space which is virtually unlimited from my point of view:
But I know that I’ll eventually fill up at least half of that. It’s Steve’s Law: If you continue to add music to your iPod indefinitely, eventually you will meet any capacity. (And have to buy a new one.)
The only downside: It’s the last and only (I think… not sure about the Shuffle) iPod to be based on hard drive memory instead of flash drive. Result: Slow. Videos take a few seconds to load and scrolling through music is painful after becoming used to the super-fast Nano (which I still have and plan to keep.)
Still, the new interface is great, and as you can see above I’ve been adding videos from many different places using some awesome free applications…
