iPod Touch Review

I month ago, I got the second genoration iPod Touch, and have been really enjoying it. If you don’t know what some of the new features where, heres a list.

• The “yellow” tinted screen of the iPhone 3G
• Curved shell
• Built in speaker!
• Volume control on the side
• Build in Nike+ Recever

I really love the new screen because it is much more warm than the old 1st gen iPod. Another think I think I should mention is that I rarely use my iPod for music, instead I use mine for apps and internet browsing.

Now, the ONLY thing the iPod Touch 2G is missing would be a camera. If they would add that then the iPod Touch would be perfect. ( in my opinion )

Over all I really am really enjoying the new iPod Touch. Feel free to comment with your own expreiences.

MobileMe

Here is the long put off MobileMe Review!!!

A while back I was on vacation in New York and went to the Fifth Ave. Apple Store ( it was amazing, I’ll put some pictures up on Flickr soon. ) and one of the things I bought was MobileMe! I’ve been very impressed with the iPod Touch to Mac compatibility, but on Windows it only ( for me ) would sync with Internet Explorer. Obviously, I won’t be switching to IE anytime soon. ( If you’re a IE user I don’t know how you are reading this ) so on my Dell, I only sync contacts. Also, on OS X I don’t believe it can sync with FireFox but, for me that isn’t a problem since I am a Safari user. 

 

As for resource usage, on both Mac and PC it wasn’t noticeable at all in terms of performance. Over all I’d say MobileMe is a great buy for anyone with a iPod Touch, iPhone, or more then 1 computers that needs syncing.
