so yesterday, every employee at my office was given a black, 30GB video iPod. Sweet little xmas bonus, indeed.
It is sick. I had planned on buying a 60GB for my xmas present, but they saved me the trouble. 30GB is so much more usable than my 3G 10GB iPod. I loaded it up with music and some podcasts (audio and video), and right now I am copying Delaney photos onto it.
So far I have but one complaint - the lack of FireWire capability. It only hooks up as USB. Perhaps that’s because it’s formatted for Windows, but I’m unsure about that. JFGI, I guess. No big deal, but I have to get a USB2 card for my G4 today, because the 15GB of files I’ve put on it so far took FOREVER to transfer over USB1.1.
Okay, maybe two compaints - the screen is incredibly vulnerable to scratches. Far moreso than my older iPod. Perhaps some screen protection film is in order as well.

Man, sounds like a cool boss! Helps that you’re working with a slightly higher-tech company. If our boss bought everybody here iPods, I’d probably be the only one that knew what do with it (”What is this, a cell phone?”).
