RE: [OT] iPOD Shuffle

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Bose accoustimass (sp?) are a good bargain; around 60% of the UK price.
The Apple stuff tends to 'only' be about 20-30% cheaper, unless you're a
state with zero sales tax. Still a barg though, and I managed to spend $2k
last time I was there, so who am I to talk! (not all for me though).  BTW,

I
also got the Bose SoundDock for iPOD, which is pretty good, if you
want/nee=
d
that sort of thing.

Yeh, OK leave it!.....Lucky they make those wrist straps nice and wide ;-)
That's two trips up and down Haytor next time for you Mr Harris!

Oh, I drove post a Comet so stopped in and bought a 512mb iPOD Shuffle :-)
=A369.00. Its really just a pretty pen drive! But hey its got an Apple
logo=
!
Its really the iTunes software though that makes it functional. You can
tel=
l
it to auto fill the shuffle based on a particular playlist, make random
selections from your entire library or you choose the tracks, it will even
re-encode higher bitrate AAC files down to 128 on the fly just for the
shuffle! Just kind of neat and well thought out, much like everything Apple
these days!

When I got home SWMBO said "I want one" so I've got to go back
and buy
another one tomorrow! I've already set up her playlist of inane pop drivel
:-)

Personally I would suggest that if it hurts then he finds somewhere else to
keep it...

...and it can't be very good for the iPod putting it there!
