The Consumerist's Dillema.

I'm going to sound like a real consumerist, but fuck it.

There I was, bored as shit and even more depressed than after Arsenal had just lost the Champion's League Final to Barca, that I decided to make a list of how much storage space per $$$ I would be getting with Apple's new line of iPods.

iPod Shuffle 1GB = 10MB / $1
iPod Nano 4GB = 20MB / $1
iPod Nano 8GB = 29MB / $1
iPod Classic 80GB = 230MB / $1
iPod Classic 160GB = 335MB / $1
iPod Touch 8GB = 20MB / $1
iPod Touch 16GB = 30MB / $1

So from that list alone it's obvious that storage space wise the 160GB Classic gives you the biggest bang for your buck. And for someone like me who is constantly running out of space because of the multitudes of TV shows that has been acquired, and will most likely go unwatched before it is deleted to make room for other shows that will also be unwatched before that too is deleted for.. well you get the idea, space is the number one thing.

And, as mouthwatering as the iPod touch may seem to be, right now it's just shaping up to be an iPhone lite. Maybe, just maybe if it had a bit more storage space (40GB? Pretty please?) aaaaaand a text editor, along with a fold out keyboard, I may save up (get a job first, dickhead!) and buy the Touch. But right now I'm leaning towards the 160GB Classic.

And if it comes out at a reasonable Australian price, maybe the iPhone too.
