Im broke becos i bought my 1st mac product - The ipod 15GB model. Well it was quite a deal considering im getting it at $420 which is much much lower than any shop u can find in SLS or Funan. Dun mention the Apple corners, they oways sell at retail price of $548. This is a $128 different. 23+% off the usual price.

I called up e shop which offered that unbelievably low price. There were still 3 15GB models left in the morning, then in the afternoon at a local mac user forum, someone mentioned there were 2 left. I called and confirmed it, not wanting to miss this opportunity, i reserved one for myself. I spent abt $454 in total including a stupid Dock connector to USB 2.0 + Firewall which costed me $34. No discount !!!!

The sales person who challenged me for a free ipod skin was not around when i bought my ipod !!!!! Damm !! Now i can only protect my ipod wif a thin plastic cover which came in the box.

When i opened up the box, i was quite delighted by the intrigue package design. The whole box is a cube but the inside is 2 boxes being stick together to form a cube. 1 box contained the earphones n cds n stuff while e other one contained the elegant white ipod lying in its ivory glory. Below it was e firewire cable for connecting to power adaptor. While i cant charge my ipod thru my USB cos it was not designed for it. The ipod can be only charged thru fire wire.

Ripping my CDs to AAC format using itunes was fast n sound quality is good n small in file size. I will recommend anyone to download itunes for ripping their cds. Its prob e BEST music software n its free download from apple website.

Tokking abt digital music players from unknown brand like aigo (China), and some other brands like iRiver, iPio. They might win in prices n sizes but they cant beat e ipod in terms of perfect soft n hardware compatibility, not to say design, packaging. For Apple products, u r paying for the effort for creativity n usability from e initial stage to the end product. E thing wif Macs is hardly any afforable s/w support...and its dam expensive.
