iPod Update
Posted by mike on February 16th, 2005
Because I’ve written about it here, I thought I’d give a quick update…
As of last night, I have now have over 1700 songs, 7+ days, and nearly 8Gb of music on my iPod! AND, I discovered last night that I was missing some CD’s… that is, until I found the box we stored them in. I now have nearly 50 more CD’s to rip! I’m glad I got the 40Gb.
Also, I FINALLY got my case (a Countour Showcase) in the mail yesterday! It does add a little bulk and heft to the ‘pod, but man… it is slick! It looks great, and I really feel like my expensive toy is now protected against drops and dings. The fit and finish is fantastic (like the alliteration?)! The case is basically rubberized with a clear front and back and looks so clean that I’m now almost afraid of scratching it. lol! It also has rubberized “grips” on the back that will help keep me from pulling it off my desk.
One thing to note… this case is great for the 40Gb and photo, but I wouldn’t recommend it for the 20Gb because the thickness would probably seem too bulky. I also got the black one, though I think the white would’ve looked great too. I read the white one gets grubby fast, which is why I chose black.
