Well, I am not an Impulse buyer, but sometimes, some deals and offers are too hard to resists. So, ended up buying some electronics stuff in the last few days, which I kind of wanted to buy at the back of my mind.
- Got a 1 GB RS-MMC card with MMC Adapter - from meritline.com - got it for around $29 including shipping. I can use this card with my Nokia 6600 and also the Canon A610 digital camera.
- Mobile Bluetooth Headset - Got Logitech Mobile Freedom Bluetooth Headset from amazon.com for $27.50 - which is pretty good price. The actual cost advertised by logitech is around $59.99 - Also the reviews on this product is pretty good.
- Got a PNY 1 GB Mini Attaché USB 2.0 Flash Drive for around $20 (no rebates etc) from dell.com. This one yet yet to ship from dell.com.
- Bought a Mobile USB travel charger for iPod - No more PC/Laptop required to charge the Nano! - got this one for around $6!
I dont say that these would be the best ever prices that I would ever get these item. But its always best to buy when good deals are available. The catch is, these deals dont last long!. Good deals expire with a blink of the eye!!!! …….. ….there is always another time, but you need to keep an close eye on the deals available.

Lot of buzz over the net about the scratch problem with iPod nano. My iPod nano so far has no major scratches as such. I haven’t yet removed the protective cover which came with the packing.
Basically, there are two problems..
1. Problem with scratches.
2. LCD cracking/braking.
Problem with scratches is the one that is more prominent, and the LCD cracking is a remote possibility, and apple has admitted that its a problem.

I think iPod nano is quite sturdy gadget. After the arstechnica’s endurance test on the nano a couple of days back, today, I came across this story titled “iPod nano vs Washing machine“! - Interesting.
Btw, lot of buzz about apple releasing new version of iPods (5th generation) in october.
Updated : On Oct 12th, apple is planning on a special event titled “One more thing”. We might see a Video iPod soon! (Check this link for a leaked photo!)

| Got my iPod today, and I am super excited about it!. 2GB of pure beauty. Got it via a colleague of ours who traveled back from Cupertino, USA.Its amazingly small. Or, like apple says it, its impossibly small and weights nearly nothing!. The display is crisp and clear.
Was lucky to get a black colored one!. Looks damn cool.
Will go straight home and start exploring it! |
