16GB iPhone
Though I wasn’t an iPhone early adopter I did purchase one several months ago. I opted for the 8GB version since the 4GB had been discontinued (and luckily I couldn’t find a refurb 4GB unit on Apple.com). My wife had previously bought me a 30GB iPod last March but how was she to know I would get an iPhone later in the year? I use my iPhone as an iPod too (my wife has my old iPod) and 8GB seems fairly sufficient for my needs, though I’ll say that 16GB seems awfully tempting. I still have a couple of gigs left on my iPhone, and that is after all of my 3+ star content is synced. I can’t help but wonder if I’ll be longing for the 16GB version once the SDK comes out later this month and developers start making apps for the device. At least it is an easy upgrade, just buy a new iPhone, put your current iPhone’s SIM card in and sell your old iPhone (or give it to your wife, which is likely what I’ll be doing once I eventually replace my current phone).
Yahoo! Music
Yahoo! Music has been a staple in my daily life since its conception, but with the recent news that Yahoo! Music will be no more in mid-2008 I’ve had to rethink how I get my music, or not. Apparently the service will just move over to Rhapsody, though I’m not a big fan of Real. It will however work (supposedly) on Macs and since I’m a recent full convert (at home) that will be really nice, though the price I’ll pay will be double. I’m just not sure of how to deal with this news. I don’t really like Last.fm or Pandora all that much. Any ideas?
Pownce
Why is it that random people, whom I have no interest in (and doubt they have interest in what I have to say either), keep requesting friend status from my Pownce account? I can count on one hand how many updates I’ve made to my account there (I was part of the private beta too) yet people still seem to want me as a friend? Is it for their ego? I don’t get it.
