I know that electronic gizmos are not really my cup of tea , and I should rather stick to my forte in vehicle reviews.But ..this little jukebox that I was gifted last week , by a very special friend of mine , really blew my mind away!!!! Yes , I’m talking about the Apple iPOD , mp3 player . Over the years, Apple has received several design awards for its products, and the iPod takes the cake. When you open the pack, the first thing that you notice is the outer cover of the pod, which is made of shiny stainless steel on the back and a thick slab of transparent space age material on the front. The best part was that the pod weighs like a feather and fits into your pockets. There’s a very cute and futuristic knob on the front , which helps you guide yourself through the product menu.
The software in it also helps you store address book info etc , though this is not something that I was looking forward to. The best part of this product lies in how fast you can get the 10 gb filled up with all the songs that you can dream about.I had about 6 gb of music files which I had created over the last many years.but just the thought of carrying all this along whereever I wanted , in this tiny little ’’star trek ’’ style gizmo , makes you wonder at the technology that is packed in this little wonder created by apple.The head phones are also of excellent quality. oh! about the price!!!!he!he!he!he! would I buy something like this for $499!!!!well....my pockets are not that deep to invest in this kind of technology...but MY ONLY ADVISE IS THAT IN CASE ANY FRIEND OF YOURS GIFTS YOU SOMETHING LIKE THIS ...REMEMBER THAT THE PERSON WOULD HAVE TO BE REAL SPECIAL TO YOU...or someone with quite a few green papers in the bank. adios and happy tunes all the way moonraker
