WTB iPod video thingy

I’ve offically stopped listening to music on my iPod when I go to work. Nowadays its just podcasts and very little music.

I’ve always been a fan of talk radio. Its one of the things missing in Singapore. That said, I’m not that keen on mindless banter that sometimes comes on over the airwaves.

It is a great pity then that my 1st generation iPod Nano and my 3rd generation iPod can’t do video. Its like one of the hotest things now.

I’d want a device that does videos. That said, there are actually many devices. The PSP, the iPods, Creative PMPs and my venerabe PDA phone. But amongst all these the iPod touch and its elder brother, the iPhone stands out.

I’m not trying to be an Apple fanboy but they really are suited for it. Easy syncing with iTunes, a really decent if not excellent screen and a marvellous form factor. What more can you want?

Still I’d pass on the iPod touch. Its too expensive a solution for that small a capacity. Its after all a watered down iPhone. I really want to be able to bring my tunes and podcasts anywhere, answer calls, surf the net, and have my schedule and contacts when I need them.

Having something that looks gorgeous doesn’t hurt too.

For now, I guess I’d have to find some other solution that might involve my PDA or something.
