Got me an iPod Touch

Late last week I was able to get my iPod Touch and sync that baby up with all my music and what not. I can now see the appeal of the iPhone to many people since the Touch is just an iPhone without the phone component. I can use it for most of the applications while I'm here at home connected to my Wifi. There are some gripes and I'll get to those in a second. I just wanted to say that I think it is true that this is the most fun I will ever have with an iPod when compared to my old one or at least until Apple comes out with yet another version thats even cooler.

I downloaded a bunch of apps and most of them work fine. I don't know how useful they will be when I'm on the road since they require a network connection but I did get some games that are really fun. One of the games that I truely like is CannonGame. It's like playing Worms but with a huge artillery cannon. I've been trying out the email and the web browser and both are really cool. I like the web browser more than the email. I'm still trying to get over the no physical keyboard thing. I think I'll still be gunning for my Treo with its regular keyboard.

The video and music capabilities are good. I espeically like it for video since thats what I bought the thing for. It shows my movies in a much larger format so now I can actually read the sub-titles. I haven't had a chance to try out the Nike+ stuff yet but I'm dying to. I just need to get one of the sensors and I'll be all set to try that out. I'm also in the market for a case but they don't have many of those out yet either. One thing I did discover is that it won't play on my current iTrip. Not like I was going to use it for that purpose anyway, my old iPod is now the car iPod in my view. It's mainly there for use in the car because the click wheel is still easier to manage than the touch screen while you drive around town.

I can't wait to take this thing out on the road, it's going to be so freakin sweet! Other than a few small gripes, this new iPod rules!
