Ok, so I have not logged onto YML today, and have not got to listen to the show for this week. More importantly I have forgotten that there was going to be an Apple announcement. I get to work and casually look at the BBC news website, and see a little article saying the new 'iPhone' had been released. Ok, so I am not overly bothered about that, but I read the story anyway. Just at the end is a throwaway sentence that they also announced a new iPod.

Now about my current iPod mini. It got dropped 100 days after I bought it, 10 days out of my credit card insurance cover.. It works, but the screen has had it. If I am creative with my playlists, I can arrange it so that I can still select anything on the bottom 2 lines of the screen. But because it works really, it plays music (well, podcasts and audio books) I cant be spending another £139 for a new one.

So I rush to the apple site, and am rewarded with the most beautiful looking ipod I've ever seen. Click on Store. Change to UK. Low and behold its only £139.

"You price it.... and they will buy"

I've never bought anything so fast.. Now to go home and explain it to the wife.

This morning I look at the order tracking, and amazingly its been shipped. Last time I did this it came from the far east and took about 10 days, but this time its already in the UK.

So now its in my hand. I think. If you look at this picture, you'll see that I have quite big hands and this dinky little thing is almost lost in them. When I was opening the box, which just looks like a double CD case, I had 8 people at work all watching me. They all loved it, as well as the look on my face when I realized that it was so small. The screen is fantastic. I've been listening to YML on the way back home from work, and agree with Shawn's comments about it hurting your thumb. If you are addicted to solitaire this thing is going to make you cry with thumb pain. But dont worry about that - it's so small you're going to loose it before you get the chance to permanently damage your thumb.

I have turned all of the office green with envy.

I've called for "new blood" at the Macworld Expo conferences - new speakers for the Conference Tracks.

Paul Kent, the Conference Chair, rightly tells me to "put my money where my mouth is" and to help him get the word out.

Do you have an idea for a Macworld Conference? Would you like to stand up in front of fellow Mac users and talk about it? Well, Paul wants to hear from you.
