iTunes for Windows requires Windows XP or 2000. This should not have been a surprise, since recent versions of iTunes don't support old legacy versions of Apple's own OS either. It's a pity, though, because ever since Steve Jobs announced its imminence, I'd been eagerly anticipating the day when [livejournal.com profile] samantha2074 would no longer have to use MusicMatch to manage her iPod. Some early reports imply that the user interface is sluggish on older PCs, anyway. Well, she's starting to get a hankering for a laptop.

That Belkin memory card reader should be smaller, prettier, and cheaper, but I want one, since it enables something I've wanted to do for a long time. I take my iPod on vacation anyway; I'd love to be able to take a gigabyte of photos and stash them there. The price does make me hesitate, since for that kind of money you can just buy a hefty second memory card, which gives you less extra capacity, but is also much less cumbersome. I might wait for some independent word on how well it works.

Further thought: You know, it's interesting that Apple added firmware support for external mics, memory card readers, and iPhoto syncing over Firewire, but left the construction of the actual devices to a third party. Given the general pattern of these things, somebody else ought to jump into the game with a better attempt. Paging Griffin?...

You know, more and more I am liking the Khachaturian. I imagine him as a really excitable guy.

Holy cats, three runs in the second? Maybe I better turn on a TV.
