My Palm TX and my iPod Photo are dead to me. literally. I think the batteries in both of them no longer hold a charge.

It started with my Palm TX about a month ago. One minute it would work and the next it wouldn’t despite the battery showing a full charge before. Charging via USB wasn’t helping it, I hooked it up to the wall wart charger which allowed it to operate for a few minutes.

My iPod Photo only lasts about 30 minutes on a charge. The battery indicator will indicate that it’s mostly fully before it dies. Last year it would go a whole 8 hours.

I’m a person who lives off his PDA. Being without it for the last month has left me lost and naked. I’m not adjusting to life without it very well. I never listened to the radio with thanks to my iPod. Now I’m having to adjust to life without either. 16GB iPhone: where are you?

Apple had some interesting announcements for the ipod and iPhone today. I know a lot of people who bought 8GB iPhones are pissed at the price drop. I don’t have any sympathy for you. I bought the iPod Photo for $599, only to have the iPod Video released a few months later $200 cheaper.

8GB wasn’t enough memory for me, so I didn’t buy. I’m patiently waiting for a iPhone with more memory. I’m surprised that there is a iPod touch with 16GB, but the iPhone is only available with 8GB. Could a iPhone 16GB be too far away?
