My first iPod with engraving, how nice.
I received my Christmas present from my wife early this year, a new iPod Touch. It’s similar to the iPhone in most features but the phone elements were removed along with the EDGE network capability. Didn’t matter to me, I gave my last iPod Mini to my friend Nelson during the Orlando trip as a gift so I had to listen to music through my MacBook for the interim. I may still have to because I also gave him the cable with the FireWire connection, d’oh! My G4 tower only has the old USB standard.
Data/power cabling aside, it’s the best iPod I’ve had thanks to its nice display for showing pictures and killing time with YouTube movies (my favorites are usually the antics of kittens). The music part will last even more since it’s all RAM/Flash memory, no spinning hard drive. Sure the Classic models, as they’re now called, store much more but this 16 GB one is the largest I’ve had anyway, my last four were 4 or 5 GBs.
The WiFi part is taking time for my fat fingers to deal with. I’ve made bookmarks of the key sites I figure I’ll check on. I can get my .Mac mail through it since it can be accessed with its modified Safari. Reading it is another matter and I think replying or composing will be on rare occasions.
The best part is that Somara had the back engraved.
