iPod touch Mini review~

Ok, I got to spend 30 minutes with an iPod Touch. When entering the Apple store, I breezed right on by the Classics. And, all I needed was the 30 minutes to convince me that the Touch was the ‘pod. Everything about it was wonderful. And, Apple fixed the screen deficiencies. So, I give it an A- in my book. Ill give a fuller review when I can actually spend atleast a week with it. But, here is a mini review.
Great stuff about it; The large screen is awesome. It doesnt matter if it is a touchscreen, it just looks marvelous. Viewing in landscape is nicely done. But, you cannot have the iPod laying down. It must be held, or the accelerometer will not function correctly. It is nice and bright, and crystal clear in the menus. I did not get to play with any videos, but I expect them to look nice on the new Touch screens.
The built in Safari was quick and fast. Rendered pages nicely. But, it will probably depend on how fast your network is too. With several online apps appearing with use of the iPhone, you can use them with the Touch too. I found several IM apps browsing the net today. But, the bad thing about running through the web, is, you have to be connected. A more logical way is to just hack your Touch, and use different apps when you want to, and not be restricted by wireless signals.
Music is fun to navigate I am starting to become a fan of coverflow now, and it looks fresh on the screen. Very easy to use, and I thought Steve could not make it easier to find your music I hve read other reviews about the Sound quality to not be on par. But, compared t my slightly older iPod Photo, it sounded better. I may have to use better headphones, but it sounds great. Album art is displayed in the background of your “Now Playing” screen. Overall, the music is nicely executed.
The physical appearance of it is amazing. It is abnormally thin! It feels nice in your hand. And, with only two physical buttons, nothing sticks out on the facade too much. The antenna on the back of it (the little black part) sat flush with the rest of the back.

Not so positive parts; Lack of memory. Given that it is only 8gb or 16gb, you can almost tell that Apple is not trying to publicize that the Touch is for carrying around your music and video collection. It s meant to have the good half of your library in your pocket. The Touch is displayed as a device to enjoy your music and videos and photos on a large touch screen.
The lack of Apps from Apple kind of stinks too. Steve stated that the Touch uses the same OS as the iPhone, so why not throw on the Mail Client and Google Maps?
Battery life is not as great as Apple likes to say. While stating that it will play for 22 ours of audio only, you have to ead the fine print on how they got it to do so. They optimized playback time by playing the songs continuously with the screen off, and not messing with it at all. Most people like to skip songs, and pause. Oh well.

That is all I really messed with before my parents rushed me out of Heaven on Earth.

T Minus, 5 days and counting

5 more days until school starts. I think Im okay with that now. Not like I had a choice. I kind of want to go to school, but dont want to. You know what I mean?

What else has been happening. Nothing. Really, there hasnt been. I wish there was more to say, but I really cant.

Smash de’ Pod?

I just thought of something. If I use the ipod for an alarm clock… I may accidentally lay on it. Its an old obese-pod. So, I hope it can take a beating.

Makes me want a Nano. Wouldnt feel bad if I even stepped on one of them.

I need a mouse.

I need a wireless mouse for my laptop… Anyone know of a good place to get a decent one for cheap? I am going to look at newegg.com and geeks.com. I wont check Best Buy or anything like that yet.

Restaurant [?]

Restaurant must be one of the weirdest words ever. It justs sounds weird. Just say it over and over in your head… Its probably just me.
