My 4 months iPod is Dead

Actually I am a new Apple lover and so far I consider that all Apple products are reliable, cool and it shows what quality means. Until today I found that Apple actually not that perfect or maybe I just put my hope too high on Apple product especially its iPod. I just bought a 30 GB iPod video right before Apple launched the new generation of iPod touch, around September 2007 but today it is dead. Excuse me Mr. Steve but its only 4 months old, with normal use and there is no such mis-use whatsoever.

The iPod just won’t start up, no respond at all, dark..blank. When I connect it to my Powerbook it says ‘very low battery please wait’….30 minutes, 1 hour…nothing happened..still ‘please wait’. But when I plugged it into AC power, it’s on and the battery icon indicates it is fully charged. It works normally, only with AC power. So whats wrong Mr. Steve? You just broke my heart!

iPod oh iPod: You broke my Heart

It will never be too old fashioned talking about iPod. Hare ghene?! It seems to be the part of our digital life style. Everyone here in ParrotCay has this gadget. And you know what? It just broke my heart. Two days ago, I just got my 30 GB iPod video (which is now officially called iPod classic) which I ordered online couple days ago (Thank you Mama Louis, I love you). I was so excited that evening I spent hours transferring 4500 songs, 600 photos and 150 videos into it…this is my second iPod. (The first one was the 6 GB iPod mini, and hik hik I dropped it into the sea at the staff dock. Nothing I can do. Its completely out of order.)Yeah..later that night I then accidentally browsed to apple website and oh my ghost. I cant believe what I saw. Apple just launched the new iPod generation called iPod touch. Its just like iPhone minus the phone function. D*mn Apple, you broke my heart. If only I knew, I could have waited. The good news is it is only 8GB for $299 and the 16 GB is for $399. I still thought that my iPod was still a good deal.
But Allas, I found other fact that really knock me down. the iPod classic of 80 GB is just for $249…WTF. I just ordered the 30 GB for the same price….What a day with iPod.
