It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Knowing which one you waaaaaant is easy! All of them! It's which one to get that's a little harder.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

holy crap, that's super-tiny. I was going to say it isn't as small as this one mp3 player I keep seeing around here, which is a little cube thingie, but this is actually smaller. wow.

My 30gig is new, so I can't get another big one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ooh - no one's mentioned this new iPod feature I've been waiting for since forever - gapless playback!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I REALLY don't need another ipod.

Right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A new “Back Up to Disc” menu lets you easily back up your entire iTunes library to CD or DVD.

This is pretty sweet.

I would agree with you, but then I'd be hypocritical....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Are any of these new features (search, gapless playback, etc.) going to be implemented as software upgrades on existing iPods, or are they all only available on new hardware?

Jobs was saying that the downloadable games will work on the 5G iPods.

I would tend to think that gapless playback could be accomplished via a software-only change, but I only saw it mentioned in the context of the new hardware.

eta: Ooh, if my post number was displayed on a seven-segment LED display, it would consume the maximum amount of power possible....
