Gadget Girl...

I bought a chiPod... yup, that's right, no Apple iPod monopoly for me. This knock-off will do just fine - better in fact! The comparable iPod doesn't do 1/10th of what this little power pack can handle!



I hold in the palm of my hand an mp4 player, mp3 player, radio, camera, video camera, flash disk, ebook reader, picture viewer, and digital voice recorder... i think this little doo-dad might even brush my teeth for me, although since it didn't come with an instruction manual, i can't figure out the right buttons. Of course, as Martin says, if I were smart, I would just buy a new cell with all the above functions (as well as phone, email, internet and gps - I saw there are hundreds of Geocaches in Singapore - I would've liked to be able to catch a couple!)... but a gadget like THAT wouldn't cost me about 70$, now would it!?

The sound and video quality is actually very decent, and thus far I have had none of the nightmare-ish conversion issues that I've heard some people talking about with these fakies. Hey, I figure I might as well try it out... it beats the 400-ish dollars for an iPod that would do comparable things! Ok, so it seems I fell into the Singaporean techno trap...
