Ipod unboxing
The ipod came in a nondescript courier packaging and I almost jumped for joy when I got it because I knew the ipod was in it. The small packaging belied what was in the box, an mp3 player cum video player cum photo viewer cum portable hard disk with a massive 80GB worth of storage onboard. (well it's massive especially when you compare it to my measly but dependable 512MB creative.)
I had to resist the temptation to just rip through the packaging to get to the ipod but thankfully logic prevailed and I managed to snap a few shots of me unboxing the ipod.
Although dated, the creative did have a few tricks up its sleeves such as an integrated FM radio, a user defined equiliser,voice recording, an integrated usb port and it uses rechargable/replacable AAA batteries which the ipod lacks. FM radio and voice recording are optional extras which needs to be purchased separately and a propertiery usb cable is needed to connect and charge the ipod. However the creative lacks space and the ipod provides it in spades. 80GB is nothing to be scoffed at since I have a music library that's almost 20GB in size and that I'm running low and HDD space (again). So the addition of the ipod was a timely addition to my assortment of electronic gadgets.
However, I'll not be retiring the creative anytime soon as I will be using it whenever I will be engaging in physical activities as jogging with a disk based mp3 player may just kill it as flash based players contain no moving parts . Therefore, shocks and jolts will not harm it compared to a disk based player which is more vulnerable to any sudden and strong impact.
The touted "cover flow" up close.
Cats!
Those are the two cats sitting perched on the fence belongs to neighbour. On the outset they might seem pretty tame, but they actually fight a lot with the obligatory hiss and spat heard every now and then.
