First a little bit of background, I’m a commuter. Every day I get up at 5:15 am, wash, drain an espresso and prepare for a train journey that takes a just under two hours, Bournemouth to Reading to be precise. It’s not any particular hardship, but thats thanks in part to the routine (or rut) I have set out for myself, each evening before bed I prepare material, made up of podcasts, music, playlist and Pzizz for the following day.
The Ipod has become an engaging obstacle between me and tedious journeys filled with early rising day trippers’ sharing the minutia of their moribund lives. Instead equipped with a decent set of Shure headphones I can escape to any one of numerous podcasts or float off gently embraced with some Zero 7.
The recent update to the Ipod product range piqued my curiosity, in particular the svelte Ipod Touch. However as I already enjoy the 80gb 5.5 gen model, moving down to an anorexic 8 or 16gb seems like it could be a problem. I would have to get a good deal more selective about what music gets to ride along. This is where I am now, do I buy the 16gb, wait for the Iphone or simply hold off altogether and keep on with what I already have?
