Gear Diary Check Out the New Apple iPod Commercial Bounce photo

Apple’s latest ad is for their now-shipping updated iPod line, which has the simple description: Every iPod now in color.

The commercial is about the cool and colorful iPod new line-up and offers seamless transitions between the Touch, Nano and Shuffle accompanied by a funky song. It is a positive, good-feeling commercial. Some things (good and bad) not mentioned in the video:

+ The 5th gen iPod Touch is the most ‘iPhone-like’ version yet.

- The iPod Touch STILL doesn’t contain a GPS

+ The Nano is incredibly small and has a 2.5″ screen

- But you have to load the Nano using a cable!

+ The new  Touch and Nano come with the newly designed EarPods!

- However, none of the new EarPods have the integrated controls and microphone.

Here is the video:

I have loved technology for as long as I can remember - and have been a computer gamer since the PDP-10! Mobile Technology has played a major role in my life - I have used an electronic companion since the HP95LX more than 20 years ago, and have been a 'Laptop First' person since my Compaq LTE Lite 3/20 and Powerbook 170 back in 1991! As an avid gamer and gadget-junkie I was constantly asked for my opinions on new technology, which led to writing small blurbs ... and eventually becoming a reviewer many years ago. My family is my biggest priority in life, and they alternate between loving and tolerating my gaming and gadget hobbies ... but ultimately benefits from the addition of technology to our lives!
