We all remember back in the day, having a walkman…a personal music player.  “Walkman” was created by Sony, they had the market and grew into the DiscMan, so what happened to Sony?  Anyway, this post is about Microsoft and Apple.

Everyone is talking about the new iPod Nano introduced today…it’s just a few more bells and whistles aimed at making you shell out your hard earned cash yet once again (The announcement wasn’t big enough obviously – Apple shares fell 4%).  Seriously, Apple…can you not do a hardware update for a while so that we feel like our iPod’s and Macbooks are not out of date the minute we buy them?

I’m in the market for a new iPhone…but when will the new ones come out?  When will they introduce the 32 GB model?  Rumors stated that due to the cost of Memory, we wouldn’t see a 32 GB iPhone until late 2009…but here we go with an iPod nano with 32 GB of memory…I figure it’s 4 x 8 GB chips, but who knows…maybe they’ll figure out how to fit that into an iPhone.

Steve…give us a break!
