Optimistic iPod.

Contrary to popular belief, although my iPod happens to be the one thing I can't leave the house without it also happens to be the one piece of technology I own that is superior in frustrating me. That has nothing to do with the fact that it is the only piece of technology I use... But I have noticed that Pip [short for Purple iPod] seems to have inherited some unknown disease from it's ancestor, Judy Nora Beckett who passed away earlier this year. And yes, I DO name my iPods and no I don't think that this is particularly weird because 1) This is my blog you're reading so what do you expect? and 2) My iPod is like an extra hand that happens to play they greatest songs in existence so there really is no reason why I shouldn't name it.

Anyway, like all other iPods ever created mine has awfully bad manners and freezes up at the most inconvenient of times. Also, the little spinny thing moves in the wrong direction meaning that when I'm trying to get to Biffy Clyro it takes me down to Viva Machine. This often leads me to want to throw Pip down the toilet to teach it some lessons but what would I do without my third shiny, purple, metal hand?

Another thing I've noticed and I'm not sure whether this is because iPods are complete and utter crap or because I use mine so much it's going to have a heart attack at any moment, is that I have to charge Pip up every night or he/she/it passes out on me when I leave the house and this simply cannot happen! 'Connect to power' The most awful phrase I have ever witnessed, especially when it comes with a little picture of an empty battery that isn't even Duracell.

However, although I am aware that I may have given the impression that I am 'anti-iPod' it really is just Apple that I hate and not actually iPods individually. They're really very nice when you get to know them. Not only is Pip purple but 'it' also comes with games, video and genius. Actually I minus the genius because I refuse to get an iTunes account to use it. Fraud can happen! I honestly can't believe that they make you enter credit card details before you're allowed to create an account. Why can't I just enter my non existant details if I decide to buy something?

This blog started with no purpose and most definitely was not meant to be about iPods even though the title does suggest otherwise. Thank you Pip and Judy Nora Beckett for being the only pieces of technology I can bear to carry around with me.
