That is my personal idol, Natasha de Conbray, aka The Baroness from the terrorist organization, Cobra. As for the glasses, I got my Baroness glasses at LensCrafters.

I'm also playing with the new stuff in the 1.1.3 patch.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
Yeah...I'm a little disappointed we didn't get more than we did. Seems like we should have more functionality by now. No games...
The Web clips are pretty cool. So is the faux-GPS. The texting thing means nothing to me as I rarely text anyone but my wife. Maybe I'll start texting Houde more now.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
This is mostly for the 3rd party realeases at the beginning on february. I presonally love the lyrics option, adding new home pages, and web clips.
I use Meebo.com for chat function, and i unfortunately text far too many people.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
I use Meebo too - it's one of the best web apps I think that's come out.
I haven't tried doing anything with the lyrics feature but I'll try to look into that today.
I use a separate Gmail account for the mail on my iPhone and the 1.1.3 update really makes some improvements on that. Your email actually syncs with Gmail and I've noticed that things like pictures are staying in the messages, whereas before they would disappear after a day or so and say the attachment hasn't been downloaded. It was annoying.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
So I did a jailbreak on my iPhone a couple weeks ago.
It's awesome. I wish I'd have done it sooner.
Now I have a bunch of cool games like labyrinth and pool, a nice RSS reader, a cool drum machine, a piano, a guitar, and a crossword puzzle app. Very cool.
It was real easy. I was surprised.
Kind of like your mom.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
I miss my iPod.
I don't recall if I mentioned it before, but I misplaced my Nano in a hostel in Geneva last August, and my music whoring ways haven't been the same ever since.
It hasn't really been a problem up until now, because now I'm actually working and am not home with my music collection everyday. My work puts me on a secure Ubuntu-based workstation where I can't even pop a data DVD loaded with MP3s because its devoid of MP3 playback codecs.
So now I'm seriously considering buying a new iPod. It's not important for it to be the biggest, fanciest thing ever with Cover Flow and video playback and all that feature creep nonsense, so I'm leaning towards Nano.
The question is, do I buy one now - the one jokingly known as 'the fatty' - for about 250 American dollars or am I better off waiting till September when they MIGHT release a new generation (which only interests me if they increase its capacity)?
My brother - the gadgetophile father of my nephew, who tracks him using GPS systems - says that the new Nano is fairly maxed out in terms of functionality and might not see a new generation this September.
I can't stand waiting for the next generation, but at the same time I don't want to hate myself for having bought something that will be 'made better' in 6 months time.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
The new "fatty" Nanos do have cover flow and video.
If you don't care about the cover flow and other eye candy, you might want to look into a used previous-gen Nano. Apple might even sell refurbs on their site, if that is doable for you. They don't do video though.
And I don't know if prices are different for you, but you are talking American dollars...the 4GB models are $149 and the 8GB are $199. None are $249. The 80GB Classic is $249.

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
But you wouldn't know anything about cash, you card-wielding elitist.
The dollar went down by ten pesos in the past year, so if you work out the math it means that a P10,000 8GB Nano is actually $199 at the old exchange rate, rather than being P8,000 as it should be now ($199 x P40), and it's likely they wouldn't lower the price because of how much it cost to bring the damn things over last September.
(I seriously doubt there is enough demand in my poor depressed country to ship them here on a continuing basis.)
My concern really is that I'm greedy and want to use the loss of my old 2GB Nano as an excuse to 'upgrade' to a new 8GB fatty, which will cost me exactly the same amount I paid for my first Nano... but I don't want to end up whining in the event that they introduce a new Nano by September.
I'm pretty sure you and I have agreed that Cover Flow is kind of Orson Scott Retarded.
I don't own a credit card, so I wouldn't be able to order those, but I had no idea Apple did refurbs. I have to rely on cash purchases.E said:

Yeah, I know. I presume it's more expensive here because of costs of shipping and whatnot. I could be wrong though, but it might have something to do with the rapid depreciation of the dollar.E said:

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
Yeah. I don't hate it but there's no point in it. And it KILLS the battery.
I've had the same dollar bill in my wallet for the last week and a half.
Yeah - tough call. I don't know what the release schedule is like but you're much more likely to see a price drop within the next couple months. If you try to play that game you will never win, though. If new models come out in September they will drop the price on them in 3 months (or so).

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
Additionally, there's no way for me to be certain that a post-September price drop will carry over to the Philippines before 2009.
Stop robbing your kids of their lunch money, you penny pincher.
That's true, but I'm just going to limit my time frame between now and September, any other developments in pricing and such after that will be irrelevant since I want a player that bad. I can only wait so long.E said:

Re: The iPhone and iPod thread
i hate to admit it... I prefer coverflow over list view
reminds me of being a kid going through my parents' LPs
Yes, the nano will survive the next refresh, as will the shuffle and touch. This may be the last refresh for the Classic. As much as people seem to ***** about the Touch/iPhone/Nano/Shuffle's lack of high capacity, they massively outsell the HDD based models, and have since the intro of the nano.
My guess, Sept 09 there will be no HDD based iPods in the 09 refresh.
