Oh...man!!! Now Apple's gone and done it.
I was perfectly happy telling myself that my 20 GB model was good enough. Its primary drawback is that it can't hold my entire library. I still have about 100 CDs that I haven't ripped 'cause I don't have the space. I suspect 30 GB can handle those CDs but wouldn't leave much room to spare. Since it wouldn't leave much room to grow as I added to my CD collection, I was relatively happy with my decision not to upgrade. I mean...really...the 30 GB model didn't have enough more there to warrant upgrading. And, now? The 40 GB model's got some fancier software and is actually smaller than my 20 GB model. But, the battery won't last as long and that's important to me. I play my iPod all day at work. Every day. It'll go nearly 10 hours on one charge. The newer models won't do that. They'll probably last somewhere between 7 and 8 hours. Oh...the pain. Now I have to decide. Is double the storage enough more to make it worth it to me? Is it?
