I Touched Nirvana

Not the band, but the object which has been bestowed with nirvana-like qualities.

That’s right, I got to try out the new iPod Touch! Benoit had his at work the other day and let me fiddle with it.

It is pretty slick I must say. I don’t know if I would use the cover flow feature that much, but I do love the feature where you can select the letter of the artist you are looking for and it pops down to that section of the menu. Beauty! Saves me some thumb scrolling.

Also, the video feature is amazing. I could definitely see me enjoying it if I was on a long trip somewhere and wished to check out the newest episode of Heroes.

The interface is killer…that’s what won me over. It’s so sleek. It’s so…intuitive.

Sigh…it is a pretty cool product. I’ve never personally played with something like it so I have nothing to compare it to.

Sure, it only has 16 GB, but I equate it back to the days where we only had our discmans with us and a few CDs in our pocket. Sure, you can’t load ALL your music onto it, but you can load a lot of it.

Two thumbs up for the iPod touch.
