"iTalk and iPod"

Was just browsing for stuff to buy, and I came across this:

Was this inspired by Timmargh, by any chance?


Anyhow, I was looking at getting an iPod mini until I did an size count on my music storage; a gigabyte too much, so it looks like I won't be able to play music while wearing the player on my arm (using the armband thingy).

So, the iPod it is, and a question for those who own one - does it support transfer of ordinary data files in addition to music? I've seen a program called iOrganzier, which works on Macs, but what about for Windows?

I got an ipod, it's brilliant (probably the best invention ever made since the computer) anyway.. I've stored 700 song (mostly pop, techno and rock still have 4300 space left (wonderful).

Nice, very... black and white. But does it really need to be that big? I'm sure the packaging for the Gamecube is smaller than that!

Here's a quick pic:

The top box is the actual, er, box. The lower one is a sleeve that goes over said box.

Just in case you care...

Blah, their apples need to get out more. I'll still keep the box though.

Nah, it's a black cubed box with a white apple on.

Hope that'll fulfil your fantasies ;^D

One last question, does it arrive in a box with a great big red apple plastered on it?

I'll have to pay if I want laser engraving :(

Still might though.

Ah, but look, it's the new Zen Touch one!!!

Yup, I've decided then; iPod 20GB for me, with the ultra cool laser engraving. I was going to write Icarus' Toonz, or Moosac, but in a few years time I would probably regret it.

I've used it once or twice, seemed fine to me.

Sorry, never actually opened them so can't comment. Doubt they'll beat my Sony ones though :D

Mine has actually turned itself off a couple of times for no apparent reason. My Zen, however, has crashed many times.

I'm also considering this, but the reviews are rather crap; and it has crash issues too.
