Well I’m out in Australia for several weeks on assignment for my employer, which is why my blogging has been fairly quiet as I’ve had to try and prepare for the trip, plus address my usual work load.

The attitude towards ipods seems to be very different here in Australia compared to the UK is very different. In the UK it is generally held that you don’t flash your ipod and best to swap those white ear buds for generic looking headphones (I changed mine although not to generics, but nice Sennheisers). Over here though everyone seems to have an ipod or a clone, and the white buds are de-rigeur and you walk around with the pod in your hand unless your on the mobile.
