Video iPod - the Perfect Functional Accessory

In a time when we wear belts not to hold up our jeans, but over our dresses and tops to elongate our waistlines... and we carry around tiny clutch purses too small to fit more than a lipstick, credit card and ID, its time for an accessory that serves an actual function- and the iPod is that accessory... I finally jumped onto the iPod bandwagon and let me say, the video iPod was worth waiting for (actually, I wasn't waiting for Apple to release a vidiPod so much as I was waiting for my birthday to roll around since I can't afford it on my own with my current Anthropologie addiction).

Apple has brilliantly cornered the the designer comptuer-electronics market (Sony for general electronics), seizing on a moment when designers were having a love affair with technology and even included the iPod in some runway shows. Now its the must-have hand-held electronic for the urban chic. Just don't wave it around on the subway or keep it in your back pocket, then the message you are sending goes from I'm-techno-hip to I'm-just-asking-to-be-robbed.*

And don't forget to get a cute case (4th gen cases coming soon, I'm sure).
