Sleek,
but expensive. Sure the iPod touch looks great and
Apple had become somewhat complacent with their offering of
iPods after their phenomenal success, but I think they still
have missed the boat on this one. For starters, it has
no tuner. What would it take for Apple to add a tuner
to the iPod touch. Next, I think Apple is being
greedy. They are riding their initial wave of
"technological acceptance" by overcharging now for all their
products. First it was their iphone which later, they
embarrassingly had to discount by offering rebate checks,
and now the iPod touch. With a base price of $399 for
a basic 16GB of storage - that's about 3,500 songs - and
memory costing as little as pennies per GB, the iPod touch
is simply an expensive toy from a greedy corporation.
Steve Jobs... make the iPod touch less expensive and regain
the throne. Keep the price and you could end up with
another marketing disaster. I can't wait to study your
missteps in business class. In the end - It's a really
just a cool looking toy.
The
Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse 8000 absolutely makes this
tech gadget list for this year because it's way cool.
The Memory Mouse is small enough to carry around when
travelling with your laptop and large enough to be
comfortable in your hand without it feeling awkward.
The memory mouse comes with a 1 GB flash transceiver so you
can store and transfer files automatically without having to
use another USB port. The mouse connects quickly and
easily without any setup and really is a plug n play device,
and the best part of it all is the modest $75 price tag
which makes this toy, the Microsoft Mobile Memory Mouse a
tech gadget that is painless to acquire.
