Before.I used to think that the iPod touch was a waste of money. Something that people bought only because of the hype. I had dismissed it as an overpriced piece of junk.
November 2009.
I had been dying for a new music player and I came up with the ultimate iPod Touch alternative: The Zune HD. It sported amazing specs, including an OLED screen, and a myriad of other features. It also looked extremely sleek. I waited a week til its release date and purchased it on the first day. I was instantly amazed by the screen and its music playing capabilities. However, as the week went on, I started to notice its weaknesses: lack of Youtube support, bad browser and an app store that was so restricted that there was almost no room for growth. I started to feel as if the $200+ I spent on the Zune was completely wasted. I decided to return the Zune and buy the new third generation iPod Touch.
Now.
I cannot live without my iPod touch. I use it for so many things, music, videos, games, calendar, time, weather and even notes! The iPod also serves as my secondary "computer" when my real computer is not working! What makes the iTouch (and iPhone) so versatile? The apps of course. Every night before I sleep, I usually listen to my music. While listening I always check out the latest free apps to see if there is anything I like. By doing this, I have found many extremely fun games, and other types of tools that make life much easier. These include paid games which were free for a day, apps that allow you to find hidden WiFi spots, flashlights, book collections and many more. Even now, the app store constantly grows, and hundreds of apps are added every single day. I can't wait to share with the class my adventures in the jungle known as the app store.
