iPod Touch

Never never, am I one to rush out and buy the newest latest best piece of technology. Never once have I ever cared about music or the convenience/pleasure of listening to music all the time. I thought for sure I would be the last person on the planet to own an iPod. If it wasn't for my brother-in-law, I probably would still be one of the few that don't own an iPod. My times are a changing.

Currently, I have the iPod shuffle, below is a lovely picture. It works great, holds a good amount of songs (more than I can listen to at anyone time). It is light weight and extremely easy to keep with me at anytime because of its handy dandy little clip.

However, the other day, Swallow came home with the new iPod Touch. She was raving about this wonderful piece of machinery. It was as if the iPod touch was the greatest thing ever invented in the history of inventions. It put sliced bread to shame in a matter of seconds. I sat there, listen completely unamused. It was as if she was the new spokesperson for the iPod Touch. She went from never having an iPod to an iPod Touch guru. I continued to humor her by listening and responding every once in a while to keep her energy level and excitement on the incline. She must have gone on and on for a good hour maybe even an hour and half. When she finally went to bed, I thought maybe, I'll play around with this thing and see how cool it really its. Wow...I am incredibly jealous, is basically all I can say.

Swallow was right, this thing is awesome! I am absolutely without a doubt, SOLD. The next time, I am out and about and I feel the urge to spurge, I will definitely be investing in this lovely piece of technology. It is basically an entire computer in the palm of your hand, and it is extremely user friendly. I am absolutely certain I could hand this to my father (the technology challenged), and he would be able to do everything in a matter of minutes. It keeps a great calendar, you can use the internet FOR FREE anywhere, it holds up to 20,000 pictures and 3,500 songs all neatly organized of course!

There are two features I am not a fan of. It doesn't have a phone or a camera. So, I started looking into getting the iPhone. Bad decision! Yes, it does add the camera and the phone to the mix, which I would prefer, but it is an on going price. Not only is the phone the same price as the 16 gb iPod Touch, you then have the lovely monthly service for the internet and phone service. I don't know about you guys, but I need a phone that makes calls, receives calls, and sends the occasional text. Like I have said before, I am pretty simple (I think I get those genes from my father's side of the family). It didn't seem possible to get the iPhone and not spend less than 125 dollars a month, plus the price of the phone. My phone isn't broken, and doesn't need to be replaced anytime soon.

I realize that this is something I don't need, and wont be running out to the Apple store to buy, but it will certainly be on my list of things when I have a little bit of extra chump change laying around. I like toys and I enjoy making myself happy. I'll keep you posted if I get the itch to go invest in this LOVELY piece of technology anytime soon.

Have a fantastic day. Enjoy a smile and make sure others smile. :)
