Apple, Part 1: the Good


Hey! FakeSteve!

You are a smart ass aren't you? The southerners have an expression for your type: "likes to kiss himself in the mirror". Well at least you are funny in your blog, you seem to be an insider, for sure, even though your stories, about me at least, are off.

I figured I would give you some change back and tell you what I think about your products.

First the good. That one is easy, frankly BRAVO for the iPod shuffle. You know the mini-one. I know you are so busy loving your phone and all and you probably forgot all about the little iPod shuffle. See, I have been a long time lover of SONY. I couldn't get myself to ever like the iPod.

When the first iPod came out, yeah the one you freaking invented, dude! I thought it was a freaking BRICK. Let's face it, it was just downright UGLY. I know you know now that it was an UGLY piece of hardware. I knew it back then. Ick!

SONY at least had some freakin STYLE, man! They were doing solid state design, they were doing USB plugs and all, you felt good wearing their gear. At least I did. Too bad they can't write software to save their lives. I always thought the success of that ugly iPod mofo of yours was because of less sucky software and the jog dial.

But back to the shuffle. Your teams got it right by my tastes this time. It is tiny, all solid state, it almost looks good on you, the battery is a camel and contrary to SONY, your software doesn't completely suck ass.
On the minus side I will say this:
1/ it badly needs a "hold" button. It is frustrating to be skiing with this thing and have it restart whenever I slightly touch it. 2/ would it really increase the price that much to have SOME display? SONY has them on the $50 models! 3/ It doesn't hold to what you wear: the commercial is misleading, the number of times I caught the little sucker by the tail, hanging from my earphones while skiing was scary. It is a miracle I haven't lost it yet.

But that's about it, kudos on this little piece of hardware: you get a 9 out of 10 Stevee-o, keep it up and you will keep getting my sub $100 sonic purchases.

iPod Shuffle was the first Apple product I ever bought -- it's the right size and while overpriced, not ridiculously so.

Now 32Gb solid hard drives for laptops should be within consumer price range very soon, and that'll be interesting. I heard people using their memory sticks as swap space these days and it seems Microsoft joined the game as well by supporting USB swap with Vista ( I wouldn't mind getting my HD stop its grinding on my laptop).

I guess the next issue to tackle there is the life-time of the low quality flash mems -- apparently high number of writes can kill the cells pretty quickly.

SOlid State (SS) absolutely rocks.
It is very interesting that SS HD are within price range. Imagine what it will do to your boot time, since most of the boot sequence is IDE talk. I can't wait.

Also, I hear you on the reliability but I doubt it. I have been using my PSP with 1gig of disk and it boots instantly from pause, no boot up time, the flash merges HD and RAM. I have had 2 HD drives DIE on me in 2 years, the solid state stuff never gave.
