DME ResourcesApple appears to have hit a home run with the new iPod touch, at least in theory. Basically, they've taken all the cool from the iPhone, and removed the requirement for related a monthly cell phone bill. How cool is that? Well, I'll tell 'ya, it's way cool if you didn't already buy the iPhone and get locked into a cellular contract.
Many who've already purchased the iPhone are a bit peeved, as not only are they locked into a cell contract with a carrier they may not have otherwise done business with, but they did so at $200 more than the iPhone's new price! At least Apple is offering them some consolation by sending $100 rebate checks out, but still...ouch.
Anywho, the new iPod touch is expected to start shipping by the end of the month, and you can pre-order either the 8Gb or 16Gb version from the Apple Web site complete with custom laser engraving on the back. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that I don't need it, which is ridiculous; isn't it?
For Pete's sake, I have enough junk I don't need, including a few mobile music players I rarely use (iPod, MP3 players, PSP, LG Chocolate, etc.). Still, I have a funny feeling I'll be writing about this one again in the near future, but this time based on firsthand experience with it. Go figure. 🤪
