Yup - I knew it'd be something Apple-related. The force is weak in this one.

Hehe all part of the fun

I basically bought it to carry my portfolio around. If someone needs an image I can send it them and make money. It could pay for itself in 2-4 images. Its gotta be a sign of getting older when you buy a trendy cool Apple product for its business use more than cool features. iCal syncing, mail, portfolio, etc. Great for shoots too because I can put loads of ideas in iPhoto and sync it. Of course it plays video but I'm never normally anywhere where I would need to sit and watch a big film. I'm getting old

Excuses, excuses. You got it because it's shiny and has an Apple badge on the back. The rest is icing.

Though I do admit to having thought of getting one to escape the crappy WM5/6 web browsing. Not enough justification on it's own though.

Ok ok you got me. That was my press agent speaking. I did buy it cos its shiny and Apple

But honestly, I am expecting it to pay for itself.

It comes in 32GB now?

Ok so it seems that iTunes optimises images for the screen size. It seems fairly pointless because you're then zooming in on a 640x472px image. Slightly annoying because I bought it to store hires 5mb jpgs so I could email them. Oh well, all the other features still stand. Stunning screen, readable subs for anime, iCal, mail and so-on. Incredibly well made device, typical Apple design. I think I'll still be able to get around the image issue by at least having a large selection of my work with me that I can email to people to show them what I can send, if they're interested. Also, oddly, it was just really nice to literally flick through photos from my nephews christening. It'll be handy for shoots too because I can show a model a photo and say "Do that!"
