Pod People
Dear Steve Jobs,
Today you wiped the smirk off the faces of your smuggest customers to date: iPhone owners. Thank you. I experienced levels of schadenfreude that would be considered illegal by most international laws, but it was spectacular watching the collection of bitching, screaming and, of course, online petitions. My personal favorites were the thoughts of class-action lawsuits. For what, exactly?
Anyway, I also wanted to thank you - or hate you - for the iPod Touch. Yes, it only has 16GB of storage while my music collection alone is roughly 32GB. Under perfectly normal circumstances, I'd be dismissing it outright, but you had to go and put WiFi access to iTMS, Safari, and a widescreen display under the hood. I'm seriously considering one for the basic, Internet-tablet functionality alone. It's more or less what I've been looking for and ultimately failing at finding outside of a few products by Nokia. Should I ultimately pull the trigger, you'll be the first to know. To be honest, the only thing holding me back is that I want to figure out how to encode DVDs to be iPod friendly first. But I assume that's a situation that Google can rectify pretty quickly.
Love,
me
(Seriously, people. The iPod Touch can fit the REAL INTERNETS in my pocket! I want, I want bad...)
