mercredi, janvier 12, 2005 After a month-long deliberation process which had me ping-ponging between iPod-Creative, quick discussions with my Creative pimp Hwee Yee (see pic below), I had finally decided that I would either buy the Creative Zen Micro (10 gig) or the Zen MuVo (5 gig) once the CNY squeezed out festive offers from the Creative Jurong Den. And then Apple has to pull out a one-two punch to my solar plexus, and throw everything out of the window.
512mb version should cost about $170-200, while the 1 gig version about $250-300. The "two" of the one-two punch came when Jobs announced the arrival of a US$500 desktop computer - just the computer, no other frills attached like screens and keyboards (which everyone should already own anyway.)
Look at that. How can Apple get it so right, and everyone else get it so mangled? I am suffering from serious Option Paralysis. ~ 'the tendency, when given unlimited choices, to make none' - Douglas Coupland, author of Generation X [My Head Hurts] |
