I can't believe it! And that this mp3 player have a very special function than allows user of teh same platform to share the music through sending via bluetooth and and that should the song be played, the song will expire within 3 days. Very much on the line of trademark infrigment eh...
So as usual, i will sit back and enjoy all this tech geek stuff and slavour on it as time goes... But to really think of technology getting advance is some of a twisted fact to me. Should it be appluase for it or "boo" for it? I don't quite really know. But one thing for sure is that i will be loyal to apple! iPod for life! **Bleach** sounds kind of wrong here. Whichever way... The end consumer will still benefits.. but than our pocket will be much affected in some other way too :(
