The OneGigiPod!

So Apple have announced another addition to their ever expanding family of iPods - this time, a tiny 1GB iPod Nano, with capacity to store around 240 songs and selling for a reasonable £109 in the UK (Well, reasonable until you realise it sells in the US for $149, which is about £85 at todays rates, so we're being ripped off again!) - Still on the positive side, the iPod Shuffles have now been reduced in price, although never seen the appeal of the Shuffle as it just shuffles the contents and plays at random (as the name suggests), so no good if you like listening to Podcasts, or Audiobooks as you'll find out who killed the Butler, before the Butler even knows he's about to cop it and be hit with a Candlestick downstairs in the Billiard Room (Sounds painful!)

Still, this got me thinking (doesn't happen often!) Just how much smaller can these kind of gadgets get. Developers and Technicians seem to be obsessed and driven by making things smaller. Soon, I'm convinced we'll be talking to thin air! (Mind you, some of us already do that!)
