It's been a long time coming from my point of view, but finally we have a color iPod. And incidentally it has photo management capabilities and a TV out port as well. I'll play with my photos on there, no doubt. But I'm just glad to be able to look at a nice higher-resolution (220 x 176) color screen for a change. Little tiny album cover art will be a nice plus.
The calendar is now in color. Will I use that? Probably rarely because I'm hoping I'll have my Treo 650 with me (when it's available) for calendar functions. But when I'm out with only room in my pockets for one device and I want music to be featured, my iPod will be my soul information source.
Solitaire anyone? Somehow color makes all the difference with this game. One thing about branching out into color and adding functionality is that it makes me feel like I'm missing things already in my PDA like a touch screen. Solitaire, for one, sure would be easier to play with a touch screen. More later, I guess...
By the way, that new 20 gb Black iPod is definitely the coolest iPod ever. Nice job on the color scheme. U2 Autographs on the chrome back. Apple scored teaming with U2 for a special music-oriented offer. Having U2 in your TV Ads doesn't hurt either. Too bad it doesn't have color... I'm looking forward to seeing people carrying these black iPods around. It's $349.
