Thread: Ipod touch rocks my socks!

I've just browsed SRP using my new touch I was given, and now I'm typing this message on it. Let me just say I'm stunned and blown away! If you're a gadget lover, check out your apple store and give this thing a whirl!

A friend brought his over to show me at Christmas. I was blown away. It really is an awesome piece of engineering.

It really is. After seeing things like the previous versions of iPod and especially the Creative line of mp3 players, I thought that was it. It was to the point that I figured it couldn't really be improved upon. Evidently I thought wrong. I really don't want an mp3 player that's my phone, and this does a good job of being just enough. It can access wifi and surf almost any website (grr, I hate safari- I use FireFox on my Powerbook), and has plenty of room for music. The only thing I wish I could add to it is the ability to have an external power source, but I think I can work that out too.

Obviously it doesn't replace the kind of power and ability of a laptop or desktop, but if you need to be able to use the internet discretely or don't carry a laptop, this is a perfect alternative.

I just bought a 32gb Touch last week. Besides the static/popping sound i get switching tracks....its one of the best ipod upgrades ive bought.

Hmm, I don't get that when I switch tracks Have you tried updating your iPod's firmware? Mine is the 16 gig though- maybe there's something different about the 32.

See... now you guys need to hack the thing! I have had mine hacked now for about 6-9 months and I don't know what I would do without it!

Do you mean the iPhone as opposed to iTouch? Or is there also a hack for the latter? Does it replace the OS or something?

Those iTouchs are really nice. All kinds of cool features. I'm holding out for an iPhone. I just moved and the Sprint service is terrible here. Gotta get out of my contract then I'll be in iPhone city.

He means the iPod Touch. The way it comes, you're more or less stuck with what's there as far as programs. If you hack it though, it gives you as much or more functionality as the iPhone, just minus the phone.

I like it so much I had to give up my first born. Then my wife wanted one too. Bye girls, you'll be missed...but the iPod touch is forever.

Just kidding of course, but the loss of that many Benjamin's did sting a little.
