Nice work Tori.

I like the look of the PSP, but I saw a white version on the internet that has me interested. I'd like to wait and see that in person before making a decision on whether to purchase the white or black version.

As for the iPod nano, it would be one of the few things I have ever ordered sight-unseen (untouched), but I am going to wait a while for the cases to come out before I give in. Too much potential for scratches ... and I know that would irk me no end.

Yeah, that was my impression of the black nano...it looks like anything BUT an iPod (a gaming device, a remote control, a phone, etc.). It's nice-looking, don't get me wrong. Just doesn't look "iPod-y".



Plus, I'd imagine fingerprints are going to show up like CRAZY on it. That would drive me up the wall, after a while.

I'd only take a black one if someone GAVE it to me...and even then, I'd sell it and use the money to get a white one.

I JUST GOT ONE!!!

Sorry for the all-caps spasm, but it makes me happy. Me - 600 posts on a Mac message board, without a single Apple product - and I finally got an iPod nano.

I chose white. I liked both colors equally, and I was honestly trying to decide in line, but I when it came time to ask for an iPod nano I said I wanted a white 2 GB one. I'll wish I'd have gotten a black one if I ever get a white iPod proper, but it'd just feel weird to not get a white iPod as my first iPod (and my first Apple product in years). It just wouldn't be right...but maybe that's my OCD talking.

In any case, I'm overjoyed. I can't wait for Monday to come, so I can show it off at school.

I bought the iPod socks with it, because I needed some type of case, and they didn't have any cases for the iPod nano (the Apple Store I went to - at the Mall of America - didn't have any nano Tubes yet). I actually sorta prefer the socks, even over the tubes. Yeah, I'll have to put my nano in upside down, but it's still a snug fit, and if I ever get an iPod (or iPod mini...Student Union's not over yet!) it'd fit that as well. Plus, I get six socks instead of five tubes, and I like the socks colors better. Still, they were far too expensive, but I needed something, and I got the iPod nano for $20 off, after all.

Gotta install iTunes...did I mention I was so happy?



LOL...to let you know how happy I am, I just exceeded the smiley limit.

Congrats, Roboman!

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but there's a stopwatch feature under the "Extras" menu. It's pretty cool. Has a lap timer and will save your times. I don't know if they sync anywhere, but it gives you a break down of total time, lap time and average lap time. And it looks cool too.

If it's not red and showing substantial musculature, you're wearing it wrong.

You shouldn't be sorry for talking about an iPod Roboman. When I got my first iPod, I jumped right into Apple and now I'm sitting here typing on my iBook. Apple is jsut about the best thing. I got the white 4 GB nano yesterday and was thrilled. I'm going to show mines off too at school come Monday. Instead of the socks, you should have gotten the armband, outrageous colors they have.

I saw them at the Apple Store in Yorkdale today. Unbelievably small. This is one of Apple's most stunning products ever. I can't decide which one I like more so my girlfriend and I are going to get them both so we can switch every once in a while. The guy at the Apple store said they were almost out of 4 gig black nano's but they still had lots of the white ones. I must say that the colour screen makes the black look quite striking.

I hope Samsung and Apple can keep up with demand for these things when Christmas shopping season starts. I don't want to sound like a loonie, but I think that Apple could sell 8-10 million iPods in the first full quarter these are available.

White is here to stay. White earphones have become a TRADEMARK of sort for Apple. White earphones don't match the black iPod --a fashion error IMHO. And you're not going to see black earphones either.

That's one of the reasons why I went with a white one.

I didn't want to get approached by some pimply middle school kid... "Dude, is that one of those PSP I-pods?!?"

Also, iPods have been and will always be white in my mind.
