I have The Touch

So, after contemplation and one dead IPod Mini battery too many, I decided to head to the Apple Store at Arden and upgrade my IPod. This was a totally unnecessary purchase (seeing that I already have a Shuffle for the gym I never go to), however; I felt it was time to be rid of the Mini from circa 2003.

I think my trade up was even more justified when I took the Mini in to the store and had team members oogle the antique model and say "wow! I haven't seen one of those in YEARS! It's the Paperweight version." *sigh*

So after an hour (yes, that includes a 25 minute wait just to GET into the store), I have my hands on a new IPod Touch. The Touch comes complete with a huge color screen, calendar, photo viewing space, and I can access YouTube and Gmail on it. And the GPS will be handy in Europe, if I can find a free internet cafe. Oh yeah, and it plays all gazillion of my songs too.

And here is a nifty tidbit: if you have an old IPod and you want to upgrade, you can recycle your old one and get 10% off your purchase. It saved about $30, which is what it's going to cost me to get a case for it. (I'm such an Apple-sucker... Ugh!)

So when this pretty penny is paid off, it'll be about time to upgrade the OS on my lappy. But we'll wait until I can't stand Parallels Desktop anymore.
