Let me tell you why Apple is going to continue to take my money:
Because their products are THE. fucking. SHIT. Okay? They are awesomeness embodied in circuits and hard drives, and I cannot help but empty the contents of my wallet in their waiting, greedy little hands.
I just got my refurbished 2G iPod Nano ($79 refurbished!) in the mail today, which enabled me to fill it with playlists and check out the Nike + sensor thingie I got.
I had a tiny little heart-attack-of-joy upon plugging in the sensor.
Immediately, a new menu option showed up on my nano (which is joy-attack-worthy in itself) which allows me to pick a workout by units of time, calories burned, or distance run. I am told that there will be automatic audio encouragement, which I can also request by pushing a button. AND I get to pick a "power song" that the iPod will automatically play if I hold down a button.
Add to that the fact that the software will track my progress from day one to race day; and if any of you got one too, we could have virtual races and compare our times online.
I just don't even know. I don't have the salary to be this kind of biotch for Apple, but there's not much I can do when they make stuff like this.

audio encouragement?!!! that RULES.
Well, it's not really "encouragement" as much as it is "Halfway Point" and "Five minutes left," but considering the fact that I could barely have lasted longer than five more minutes, it was nice to hear the countdown at the end.
