Yesterday, I realised that I’d lost my precious, precious red iPod nano (and the quite worthless, but very nice-looking bling earphones I just got from Swarovski, but that’s a whole other matter). I frantically called all the places I’ve been to since Thursday when I’d last seen it, with no result. I was in complete, utter despair. My baby!! I so loved the little thing, being the gadget freak that I am. And to make it even worse, it was a Christmas gift from my boyfriend, which made it so much more important to me. Felt a tear in my eye when I found the box it came in this morning. Poor, poor, poor nano! May you rest in peace.
So now, in a fable effort to console myself, I’m updating the firmware on my first gen Shuffle and trying to cram my favourite songs into the old thing. Let’s hope 1 GB is enough! Why won’t Spotify come out with a mobile version soon? That would make the pain go away… almost.
Something else that would make it all good again would be if what Engadget reports today is true. I’d take it with a big grain of salt, however.
[T]he gossip coming out of Italy calls for a Q1 release of a UMTS iPhone. Italian site Morse.IT claims to have spoken to high-level sources and “confirms” in no uncertain terms that Vodafone has signed an exclusive deal with Apple. […] The launch the 3G iPhone would occur simultaneously in all countries where the carrier operates but will not be announced until after the holidays (MacWorld?) to avoid impacting sales of the existing iPhone. The timing chides well with other rumors calling for a 3G release before May.
If true, I wonder what that entails for Sweden. We used to have Vodafone, but now it’s Telenor, does that still count?
Q1 2008 is starting to look more and more expensive. New slim MacBook Pro and 3G iPhone. My wallet is not liking the sound of it, but my RDF-brainwashed inner gadget geek is cheering and doing a little happy dance across the room. Wheee! Go Apple!
