Wearing White Headphones

My present from my family at this Christmas time was an iPod Nano 8GB. So I have become the wearer of white headphones for now, that might change in the future because they aren’t the most comfortable or the best quality.

So far I’ve really enjoyed the experience.

The out-of-box experience was quite good, it certainly wasn’t flawless but it was good. It took me a little while to work out the iTunes setting for Album Art and was amazed at how long it too to synched up a few hundred photos.

I was intrigued by the reactions of a number of none technical people. They had a play, but soon put it down because they regarded it as too complicated.

For me, the best part of the iPod experience has to be the way that it handles podcasts. I listen to a lot of them but struggle to listen without interruption. The iPod is flawless in the way that it remembers what has en listened to and also how far through.

I’ve also bought myself an armband to wear down the gym. The weight feels just about right, it’s light enough that I don’t feel it dragging down on my arm so I can focus on doing my exercises and not on the technology.

8GB seems to be just about right, I’ve got over 6GB of audio on it at the moment so the 4GB would certainly have been too small. I don’t think I’ll do too much with video so I can’t see my requirements getting to much bigger for now.
