Happiness is….
A brand spanking new 4th gen ipod. Having been a longtime ipod user I figured the new one wasn’t going to be that much different. Truth is, its not, but the experience of that UI is so much more refined than the 3rd gen. I am amazed at how Apple keeps doing this type of thing with UI. Everything from software, hardware, to now consumer electronics. Apple is no longer a technology company, what they are is a UI company. The marvelous thing of course is that the UI is tied into the Apple Brand Experience thing. Apple is a cult, a cult of brand, and Steve Jobs understands how to tie that into all the Apple products in ways that mere mortals can’t comprehend.
If your in the market the 4th gen ipod really is sweet. I also thought the iRiver H140 was a serious contender. For some reason or other I picked the ipod. You may or may not agree. Whatever your device of choice, happy listening….
