RANDOM THOUGHTS, GOSSIP & GENERAL NONSENSE FROM KUWAIT

iPod Nation

Newsweek's cover story is all about the iPod, and how it has changed the way we listen to music.

Does this mean it's no longer "cool"? ;-P

hahaha very interesting comment zaydoun!
about geeks being the new snobs!

Anyways, i don't have an iPod and i'm thinking of getting one. I just got back to Kuwait, yeah i know you guys are probably thinking "smart move waiting to get to Kuwait first AND THEN wanting an iPod". Moving on... my question is how much does it cost here in Kuwait and if it would be cheaper to get it abroad .. ? and which is better the mini or the original one ?

And the million KD question (applies to ppl who own an iPod or a mini iPod) ......... Is it overrated?

First of all, WHAT IS AN IPOD? You've mentioned it lately and a friend says she has one, but what does it look like? Does it play MP3 or is it a radio? And why does it have to be cool?

It is not over-rated at all. Read the Newsweek article for a better idea. I don't know how much it costs here, but it's available at Virgin Megastore - a sensible place to buy it, despite what Mark said earlier - because the Apple dealers in Kuwait are a bunch of losers!

actually with the new ipods coming out tomororw this is the price:

STATES
4th generation 40gb ipod = $399
4th generation 20gb ipod = $299

KUWAIT
3rd generation 40gb ipod = KD186
3rd generation 30gb ipod = KD130 i think

as you with the new prices coming out tomorrow there will be over 200$ difference between price at virgin kuwait and price of amazon.com/other US dealers

Umm, hello?
I got my iPod mini from eureka and it cost 116KD(around 348$). And what is this about the iPod being 130 kd from virgin? It's 153 for the 20 GB one, and 188 for the 40 GB one. I like the mini more because its nicer-looking and i havent got a LOT of songs i want on the go.
