The new iPods


It was planned, an announced redesign of the iPod suite.
When i heard this, i was under the impression that my brand new iPod shuffle offered by my girlfriend would look like an object of the past (like when you see the former design). Fortunately it's the one that changed the less, only the colors have changed and i still like my now old blue one.
So what really changed is the iPod Nano, i'm sure Isabelle will think it's much cooler than the one i offered her last december... Not only it looked good, but it now includes video as well, i guess it explains the new format of the box, check it out. Last but not least they introduced the "iPod touch" a subset of the famous iPhone with no telephone capability but with a web-browser (through wifi) and the fun touch screen.

Plus while i was totally against this whole idea of buying stuff on iTunes that i cannot reuse legally on Linux (plus i need to turn to my windows box just for that), i felt in the trap... I feel a bit ashame.

You are incorrectly using the word offered when you mean gave. Using the word "offered" like that infers that it was not accepted.

For instance, it would be easier to understand if you said "my brand new iPod shuffle given to me by my girlfriend" or "much cooler than the one I gave her last December"

I see what you mean, it's a word close to the French one (Offre). In French we use the same word for "making an offer" and "giving".

I accepted the offer ;)

Thanks !
