On iPod Shuffle

On the iPod: "Grave's Disease" - Matt Pond PA

I'm testing two products today, first is the "Turbo" blend from Burger King. Despite it's claim to be turbo charged with caffeine, I'm not entirely convinced it's all that different from their "regular" blend. Now don't get me wrong, it's not terrible coffee, but I don't get the turbo factor, nor do I find it to be particularly eye opening. I've always been more of a Tim Horton's coffee guy.

The second, and more exciting, is the iPod Suffle. I got one with a gift card that was about to expire. It took two days to get here. I got the orange to match with my Firefox laptop bag. So far, I love it. I put about 190 songs on it last night. My only real gripe is with how long it takes to "sync" the iPod with iTunes. It's frustrating that it takes so long to move the songs from the library to the iPod and that it seems to hang the software.


What I really love is the size of the thing. It's really light, clips to clothing, etc. It eliminates the annoying scratches that are on my older and larger iPod and it's incredibly portable. I normally run my iPod on shuffle anyway, so it's perfect. I can see myself working out, shoveling snow and walking around the office with this iPod. I think my big dog will be used more for organizing and long flights at this point. I'm really happy with the quick $78 purchase.
