goodWent to the Sharks website to watch pre-season game highlights and they made me weepy. I really, really hope Setoguchi makes the team. I like him as much as I could possibly like a player without having seen them play. I kept track of what he was doing in Prince George then listened to several playoff games and was very impressed with how clutch he was. Plus he could bond with Cheech. :P
Thanks to the power of advertising, after 3 days of being exposed to iPod nano commercials, I noticed that there was video and it revived my plan of getting some sort of portable video player so I can watch TV on the way to and back from work.
I'm making a decision between the iPod nano, Creative Zen or iPod touch, taking into consideration price and screen size. The Zen has an FM tuner, while the touch has wi-fi capability, so that might be handy on trips or whatever in wi-fi hotspots. If only they kept the camera functionality, like what the iPhone has, then I probably would just get that and not consider the other options. I'll probably wait a couple of weeks to see if I can get my hands on the Zen and touch and compare screens. :)
[Edit: Saw a picture of Noah Lowry in a T-shirt from a couple of weeks ago. Lira, he's not fat, just like we said! :D]
The Zune is all buttons, not touch, but it has a bigger screen than the Zen or nano. If you like album art it wins hands down, the album art is full-screen. (You can't use it with a Mac.) It also has an FM radio.
The Creative Zen V+ can play video but it's only viable for tiny little videos, like TV ads or short clips. Not movies. The video uncompresses as it transfers to the player, so they take up way too much room. It also has a radio, plus audio recording from a line in or built-in mic.
Creative's software is THE BEST. It's SO easy to use. It just makes the player basically a folder in Explorer.
Thanks for the info, though!
