Once again I have been neglecting my blog… It’s not that I haven’t had anything interesting to talk about (though many people may not agree with what I find interesting) I just can’t stand to look at code after I’ve coded all day. I managed to snag a job a few months ago at a web design/seo analytics place outside Boston. It’s pretty great. They give me clients, I design and code websites. It feels just like freelancing, minus the client search. The people I work with are very laid back too, which is a very nice change from retail. Good luck with Black Friday, Burlington Mac Specialists haha!

Anyways, moving on. Back in September when Apple had their “Let’s Rock” conference, they of course announced those revamped iPods. People seem to forget, though that they also announced new headphones: One pair which is exactly the same as the iPhone headphones, but added volume control, and one pair which totally revamps their crappy old in-the-ear headphones with nice, high-end features for half the price of nearly all similar options I’ve seen.

They say in the keynote that they are supposed to ship these in the begining of October, but now we’re well into November and they are still listed as “Coming Soon”. Pretty lame.

When they were announced the number one question amongst the internets was “can I use them with the iPhone?”. If you look at the product description you get your answer. It’s listed as only compatible with the new iPods. This is kind of weird, though because like the iPhone headphones they have a microphone, clicker, etc, so it would make sense that you could use them.

So, here’s what I think/hope. This delay is because they are expanding compatibility to include iPhones among other products like the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. I really hope so. There aren’t too many good options out there for that pricepoint and none have volume control or the sleekness of these headphones. C’mon Apple!
