It Shouldn't Happen, But It Does

That's just typical!

Why does this always happen to me?

I procrastinate for ages, I read every review and assess every competitor. Then I take the bull by the horns and splash out on the top-of-the-range model only to find it superseded just three weeks later!

What am I talking about? My beloved iPod of course.

That's right, Apple have announced the imminent release of the 4th-generation iPod. It's slightly smaller than the 3G version, has a 50% longer running time (a quoted 12-hours) and the control buttons have been replaced with a "click wheel" (as seen on the iPod mini).

Thanks Apple!
