New iPod!
Either through misplacement or theft, I lost the dano, my iPod nano, sometime last week. It’s OK. It was only a 1 GB nano, and I won it in a drawing. I paid nothing.
In fact, I last bought an iPod in April, 2004. Here’s what it looked like:
That red glow was totally trendy. It’s pretty wild to compare the technical specs on each. The prices were identical – $300 each. What’s 3+ years done to the iPod?
| 2004 | 2007 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $294.24 | $302.02 |
| Capacity | 15 GB | 80 GB |
| Battery Life | ~5 hours | “20 hours” (we’ll see) |
| Size | 4.1″ x 2.4″ | 4.1″ x 2.4″ |
| Thickness | 0.62″ | 0.55″ |
| Weight | 5.6 oz | 5.5 oz |
| Display | 2″, 160×128 | 2.5″, 320×240 |
So all the specs have improved, and the thing’s gotten smaller. Who ever said the march of technology was a bad thing? I’m mostly excited about the video capabilities. If I throw some TV episodes on there, I can jog with my iPod, commercial-free!
