The Area 0

Okay, so everyone and their mothers know about w00t. And I’ve been watching the site for nearly two years, yet to buy something. But today… I opened up the the wallet and made my first purchase. Worthy of a blog post? Not really… but hey, it’s my site and I can fill it as I wish!

So today I purchased the “XtremeMac Portable Battery for iPods“. It claims to add 80 hours of audio or 8 hours of video playback time. I’ll believe it when I see it. Though, if nothing else, it will allow me to not have to hold my iPod in my hand while watching movies on flights.

The one part that cracks me up is a comment left:

“seriously, the ipod battery is plenty fine… this is just something else to make apple money. “

To which my reply was simply:

“Funny, I only got a couple hours of video out of my ipod on my 8 hour flight. I guess that’s plenty fine for you?

I’m buying one, if nothing else, so I dont have to hold my ipod in my hand while watching movies on flights!”

Which is of course not true, but it makes my point. It also amazes me how many people bitch about the iPod on that site… and praise the Zune. I’m not sure I understand…
