I woke up a few days ago to find a pointer to this in my inbox:

You may recall from this blog entry that I was already lusting after an iPod Touch.

Well, I just happened to make a mistake on my withholdings and we’re getting back a significant tax refund this year, so I convinced myself that it would be okay to splurge on such a thing. (See the previous posting for how this works.)

But I was eyeing the 16GB version. And I was going through “Apple Anguish” over whether I should wait until the end of the month to see if there might be price reductions or a model update or something else when they (supposedly) announce the iPhone/Touch SDK. Should I splurge now? Should I wait? Will it matter? Much anguish.

Then they lay the 32 — 32! — gigabyte model on me. Damn. Another $100. But how can you not lay out the extra hundred to double the storage? It seems stupid not to. After all, this is a device that will surely be kept and used for a few years, so one wants to be prepared for future storage needs. And since they just updated the product line, they surely won’t be dropping the price or releasing a new version anytime soon. This all makes sense. Right? Right?!?

Mine should be here next week. Damn it.
