Great news, huh?
Well, no apparently.
I've been a fan of Beatmaker on my I-pod touch for some time now. I've just got to grips with using it, and I heard, on the Intua forums that a second version was going to be released. I didn't care how much it cost, I wanted it...
Finally, after a long 'ol wait, it was released. And it looks absolutely amazing. A portable studio, in your hand.
However...
I never check the tech spec when I buy an app. Becuase it was quite pricey, I thought I had better this time. Lo-and-behold, by I-pod isn't supported. So that's me out. I can't upgrade. I can't do anything to get the software I want, except...
...buy another I-pod.
Can you see where this is going? I got my I-pod Christmas before last. This doesn't make it an old piece of technology. There used to be a time where things would last for years and years. And as you can't upgrade Apple products, you are pretty much stuffed.
Don't get me wrong, I love Apple stuff. It works, and it works well. However, this has got me thinking about future purchases. Why bother, if it will be out of date in a couple of years?
