TidBITS: New iPods: The Worst Ever!
So Joe Kissell writes a bunch of words that amount to “I have no use for an iPod, so why do I keep thinking I want one?” Where the answer I have is “if the shoe don’t fit…”
Over the years that I’ve had various iPods, I’ve gone through phases of little use and great use. My original one (one of the first one’s out of Apple at eh original launch) is still in use by my older son. First there was music, then I didn’t use it much. Then there was Audible support, then I didn’t use it much. Then there were podcasts and I now use it all the time… music, podcasts, even audiobooks.
The key to my using it more is that I have places to listen to it. The car, where the Flexdock makes it so easy. On the golf course, where the shuffle works so well. In the gym or just out and about. But I use it because I can and I’ve accepted it.
Why bother to write WHY you don’t need one. If you don’t need it, don’t get it…move along, nothing to see here.
