Eliot, even when dressed from the first day with a tight-fitting white number (aka silicon case), has collected a very annoying amount of scratches on the screen. And that with always a separate compartment in my bag - so that no tweezer, compact or eyelash curler could bother it. Eliot's screen is worse than that of my Exilim camera, or my k750i, both of which I've had for more than a year (if not a year). I just bought a screen protector. Sigh, better late than never.

I am also still getting used to this iTunes thing. I really would have found a drag-and-drop execution much more convenient. And being totally excited about uploading the tunes, I just went ahead and plugged and played. So shoot me for not reading the manual (or anything else). I then find that there's this AAC setting thingamajiggy... and that the mp3 setting would do the songs more good (duh)... and that for obsessive compulsive consistency, I'd have to upload everything all over again. Huwhaaat? All eleven playlists? Dang!

For a kalabaw (water buffalo = will not move unless life-and-death necessary) like me, this would be VERY bothersome. I'd rather pay someone else to do it. Even if I'm no where near filling up 20gig of songspace.

But if all is predictable (and I likely am), I wouldn't budge. Just rant.
