The food chain

Style has caught up with technology, and personally I would have to put Apple as the front-runner in the style department. To be honest, for a long time I really didn’t like apple but lately I just cant get enough of them. And I just recently switched from a pc to Mac and I am so happy with the change, especially in the style department I got a 20” iMac, which is just beautiful. I also own an iPod classic, beautiful in it’s own right, it’s quit thin for a hard drive based mp3 player, but when I first got it was horrible. It wasn’t working right, it was freezing, it just pissed me off ever time I picked it up. But know with a couple software updates, its been working fine, freezing only once in awhile.

The iPods have been the raining kings of the mp3 player world sense there coming out, but as time goes on other mp3 manufactures are building equally awesome mp3 players. Like the Samsung yp-p2 and the new creative Zen are beautiful player and from what I here they run nicely too. Now they’re nice but not iPod killers, but now that the new Zune 2 is out the food chain maybe changing. The new Zune 2 is definitely more stylish then its older brother, thinner and sleeker, and the new interface is beautiful. But the thing that got me was the original customizable engraving art you can get free for a limited time. I mean it looks awesome and its something I wish apple did.

The only downside to the engraving is it’s permanent, once the art is engraved there is no going back, unless you find a cool skin maker for the new Zune, like GelaSkins.com. They also give you custom art for your mp3 player only you get color and the chance to change it when ever you want. Now they go for around $10-$15 bucks but I think its definitely worth it. On that note I think I will stick with my iPod, unless something hotter comes out, god I am shallow when it comes to tech. toys.
