iTunes still loves my second-generation iPod. And one more thing…

larre — Sun, 28 Nov 2010 20:24:07 +0000

I remember back in the summer of 2002. I bought my first iPod from Apple (on their Apple Store). If I do not remember wrong it was possible to pre-order it. I was really exited when it finally was delivered. It is a second-generation iPod, 20 GB, with Firewire, released 17th of July 2002.

I have not used it for quite a while, but some tweets before the weekend got my attention to it. So I just had to check if it was still working. And of course it does. I was pretty sure that it would work, but I was more unsure if it still wanted to play around with iTunes. No worry it worked smoothly! No software update since I upgraded it many years ago – iTunes states that my software version 1.5 is the latest. It will check for updates though.

I found out one more thing…

If i put my iPhone 4 on top of my old iPhone 3G, they actually match my old iPod exactly when it comes to height! I do not believe this to be an coincidence. Nope.. it just can´t be

Photos of U2 in Helsinki

When you are in Helsinki what is better than to take some photos of old men – better known as U2? Well – I took some cool photos a couple of hours ago, here they are. But for the first time in 7 years I left my Canon behind…I only had my iPhone (how is that possible?)

Both Bono, Adam and The Edge are taken close up, while talking to us and giving autographs. Cool guys they are! I hope they always have to sing that song…

Of course U2 has their own camera crew that takes photos during their tour. Here they are in action:

But what about Larry? Well he desided to hide himself..
They where off to sound check before the concert tonight, but spent 20 minutes with their fans first.

A great experience. Some guys in a NYPD helicopter had fun by flying over our heads on top of the Rockefeller Center, before flying towards the Empire State.

Here are some more photos of the NYPD Helicopter, taken from the top of the Rockefeller Center:
