I-Pod & the need for Plenty

The Apple I-Pod must surely be the latest,most-wanted craze amongst yuppies like me . may it be the Ipod mini, Ipod nano or any other , Ipod has become the buzzword , the one key accessory-to-have amongst the musik-crazy generation-next.

the ipod is just a step forward from the walkman - which made music portable.it does 2 things :

1. it keeps music portable
2. it allows u to keep a huge stock of songs/videos - since u store them in compressed format.

so , dat makes the case for an Ipod Nano - 2 or 4 Gb of space - which gives more than enough space to store all your choicest music for convenient listening.but an ipod with 30 Gb of space?? 60Gb??what does one do with so much space??the average music listener does not listen to more than 100 new songs in a year.

but people buy.so what makes them buy it ? i feel its the feeling of plenty - of never running out of space to store things....its like an attic which never fills up ,however much you dump into it.

Partly what makes Gmail tick ,too......the feeling of 'security in plenty'.

i guess the latest i-pods also have uses like being used as portable hard drive ( USB port connection ).

So i guess 40 GB / 60 GB can b effectively used

it definetely is a revolution;though pretty heavy on the pocket here in india

Lets hope it gets popular here soon ..... so dat more models wud b launched in india (wid better pricin as well !!! )
