and you take out the mini-HD drive to & buy a used ipod from a guy in
Sengal, Capetown, or Kenya or really any of the metropolises that spot
Africa these days. You then proceed to buy tons and tons of afro-beat
and pop music never released outside of Africa and sell it to Damon
Albaron for millions =)
one annoying thing is that the mini-hd formats aren't standardized,
hence you can't take
an ipod hd pop it into one of those new sony hd-players and keep
rocking. it's really annoying.
give it all a few years though and we'll have removable mini-hds
instead of cds and they'll come
with video games, and web site codes, and all sorts of wonderful
things, and maybe (if we're lucky) they'll come bundled in free
t-shirts.
Peace,
A
