So, the company that makes the iPod hard drives has come out with a new 120 GB model (the same size as its iPod drives). Are there any rumors as to if/when we'll be seeing 120 GB iPods?
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Not really, though it has been a while since Apple has updated the full-sized iPod.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
The relationship of the drive-making company (Toshiba? I can't remember, it's been a couple months since they announced the 120gig) to Apple is pretty solid, so I think it's a safe assumption that we'll be getting 120s. And god, I could use one. Not that I'm going to buy one, having just gotten the 80 (which is, of course, full).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I seem to recall hearing the direction they were going in was with flash memory. They may not keep going up the traditional HD path, or they may do both. But they are in bed with Samsung, I think, for flash drives, and they've been expanding their capacity.

SA, how is your 80 Gig Ipod full? Do you have a computer hard drive that is a teragig or something?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Dear God.
So it seems that all the CDs I loaded on my iPod at my parents' house - ie pretty much my entire music collection - is toast. Some of the songs I loaded there via purchase-from-itunes also toast - some not.
The myriad songs that I had already loaded onto it some months earlier, consisting of my neighbour's entire music collection (because my laptop wouldn't upload music onto the iPod)?
Still there.
Which - what the hell? I only had that illicit stuff in the first place because I couldn't upload my own music. I would have been perfectly philosophical about losing it. I don't listen to the vast majority of it at all, and those albums I did find via this I'd be quite happy to go and buy.
But no. It's all my own music that is gone.
WHY GOD, WHY????
AND I now have an undestroyable popup virus announcement thing on my work computer. Will not go away. Like UberTribbles, they are. Or a Tribble Hydra.

Our wings are not tired
My 80 GB iPod is beyond full as well. I won't be happy until they are at least 160 GB, if not 200. My music alone takes up 100 GB, and that leaves me no room for putting TV shows and such on my iPod.

My iTunes drive is up to 173GB and growing fast.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've just gotten a RAZR V3i (that's what the manual says, I thought the original description said V3t, but I don't know the difference, I only got it because it is purple) and I can't get it to send text messages. I suspect that I need to set the service number correctly, but I can't find a way to do that. The number is stored on my SIM card and my Treo works just fine, but when I switch the card over to the RAZR, no messages can be sent. They can be received, and I can make phone calls and I haven't even dipped a toe into the browser issue. I read the manual, I checked T-mobile's FAQ and tried to follow their instrictions, I just can't find that setting at all.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I'm going to need a second iPod for music. The majority of the space on my (30 gig) one is taken up by, err. Supernatural S2.
In an ideal world, I'd either be able to buy S1 or flip my DVDs into the proper format, but then I'd have no room for music. Thus, the need for a second iPod.
