Big day for Apple


If you are into gadgets and like Apple, you knew today was a red-letter day for the California company. Today they released the iPod Nano. Taking the place of the iPod Mini, it utilizes flash media instead of a mini-hardrive. This enables it to be a LOT smaller. It has a color screen and also comes in black, as well as white. $199 isn't bad for 4 gigs of space (about 700 songs), and if your a student or a teacher, it's even cheaper. Too bad I just bought two of those things in the past 3 months for gifts.


In conjunction with Motorola, Apple released an iTunes enabled phone, the Motorola ROKR E1. My two cents? This is a waste of money, worse then the iPod Shuffle. Who knows how much they will charge. It holds 100 songs and can play them like a regular iPod. You can download the songs straight on the go for 2 bucks a pop... Get real! That's why God created P2P (read: Lime Wire)! HA!

In other news, for you muggles.. you can download all the Harry Potter books on iTunes now, for a total price of $100 cheaper then the regular price. AND, you can also get a limited engraved Hogwarts Crest iPod... Kelly, NO!!!
