Apple fever?

Disclaimer: This is no way an ad for Apple products... if it is. :-D

I just bought the 2nd iPod Shuffle for the week. It's for my mom. The other one was last weekend. It's for my wife. I also bought two Altec Lansing BXR1121 speakers for both iPod(s). The result, priceless music and sound experience for the two most important women in my life. :) iPod has always been the leading MP3 player. Second is Creative. When my wife and I were checking some MP3 players last weekend, I can't see that smile I'm looking for whenever she tries those "China-made" players. I then told her this isn't what she's looking for. But having a half-Chinese partner, they want whatever is cheap. I asked her to try the iPod instead. That's where the smile I'm looking for appeared. I told her that smile is priceless so we'll take the iPod. She was about to react about the price but I told her it may be pricey, but the experience is priceless. What a great excuse to buy expensive stuff huh. :) I asked her if she wants the Nano (iPod video is just too expensive for me). Again, her Chinese instinct punched in. She said she doesn't need that small screen. I told her she can watch movies with it. She said it's gonna be no way she'll be watching movies with those tiny screens. That was like a slap in my face. :-D So it was the Shuffle indeed.



My mom has the bluish violet color and she simply love the sound also. So it's like Apple fever is getting along well with me or us. What's next? iPhone 3G? Mmm... nah. But I'll be using a lot of Apple products now especially in my job. Will I be putting Apple stickers in my car's windows? Mmm... nah. Will I be getting iPod Touch in the future as photo viewer? Mmm... nah. I still want the Epson P-series. So you see, Apple is great but not all the time. Therefore, I can say I might not have that Apple fever still.

How about Bose fever? Me want that. :-D Someday... someday!!! :)
