iPod Nano, originally uploaded by: Andrew*
It’s just simply charming.
By accident, I browsed around Times Square in Causeway Bay with a friend to buy her first iPod. Apparently, the intention was just one of the factors that will be considered but because I was charmed with the new look of this 3rd generation iPod nano, I bought one for myself too.
What’s the new cool factor? It has changed from its tall, slender size into a wider, squatter form factor. Apple made these change to allow a high-resolution screen and it turns out that it also allows picture browsing and video replay.
Neato.
So it’s like my earlier birthday gift (plus another Mac computer). The new cool feature of the screen, as much as it is wider, has also facilitated a new user interface, though. A key feature of this is the ‘cover flow’ - an interface that allows you to browse your music visually by seeing album covers. Sound interesting? It certainly looked impressive.
What’s more? This new toy has also opened up the option of games that encourage you to play three games included in the product that has the ability to download others via iTunes. I got the 4Gbytes in which I am allowed to play at least a thousand tracks. I even added my own recordings. It wasn’t cheap (except for the give away silicon cover, thank you very much) and even though we know that everyone has an iPod out there, you’d be amazed how many people still ask about it and say, “Cool, is that an iPod”?. It’s true people want COOL things, so which means an iPod is quite promising that makes the nano a one small BIG attraction for everyone. The back is a polished stainless steel with five eye-catching colors. I fancied the aluminum color.
On the other news, Hong Kong is currently experiencing the winter monsoon weather in which it was predicted the coldest winter of the year. I am wondering about other places or does it only apply to China? Since the chill factor is here to linger for a while - in fact, for the record January will be the most of the really cold days in Hong Kong - I’d bet my new toy would literally keep me warm and therefore, let me enjoy “The Trouble With Being Myself” by Macy Gray.
Will the chill make history this January or my new nano?

Belated Happy New Year!!! Sorry I came late, nagpabundok kasi muna ako for a few days. Btw, I saw this nano Ipod several times sa tv commercial and I’d say it looks impressing, though like Wendy I also can’t imagine watching video on a very tiny screen. Hehehe, anyways…isn’t it obvious na I’m not a mini gadget fan

Trust me, new toys only lasts for 6 months for me, after that sawa na ako (hahaha nagyabang), sabi nga, take advantage of the little things while it’s hot, but what matters, it’s stil an iPod. The video is certainly not a cinematic experience, but for watching TV, home movies, the video iPods are practical for some purposes.

Sabi nga ng Mama ko, akala nya daw using cellphone is easy to communicate with her children abroad, so we gave her one cellphone, eh ang alam nya lang, sumagot ng telepono pero minsan di nya alam kung ano ang pipindutin. And that was sweet dahil, uunga naman, technology these days makes people look insane, diba?
