Youch, I haven’t posted since forever. Sorry, I’m sure that you’re all wondering how school’s going. It’s cool. Homework has come in full blown, so I haven’t had much of a chance to post, but here’s one now:
I’ve been - sob - R E P L A C E D !!!!!!!!! Noooooooo!!! The iPod nano has been updated - it looks like the old mini now - very nice, slightly thinner, AND an 8 GB version, which I would love because I’m up to over 5 GB in music, so the music actually ON my ipod is limited. Also, longer battery life and brighter screen - cool, but when I get a chance my next Rant and Rave will be about Apple and replacing each of their products every month.
iPod shuffle is even tinier, now silver. Pretty cool. Normal iPod upped to 80 GB and brighter screen.
But… then there’s iTunes - iTunes 7 is also released, which I have just downloaded. You can now buy movies at 640×480 resolution to view on your iPod, cool. And games also - though both not on the nano of course - that’ll probably be on the next version. I’m holding back my “sell-current-ipod-on-ebay-save-up-extra-money-to-buy-newest-ipod” impulse.
That’s all I can say now, but I’ll be back with more stuff soon. Sorry again about the week without posting - if it makes you feel any better, I DO feel bad I didn’t post much.

I just ordered a black 80 GB iPod to replace my 60GB iPod Photo. I still wish they had a video iPod with a 16:9 screen.
I don’t need the video much. I want the new nano. I like what they did with the shuffle, even though nobody likes the shuffle.
