As most of my readers already know, I have an iPhone. That 8 gig machine is amazing and enough for any sensible person. So I hadn't bought an iPod touch. I thought maybe I would get one for Christmas.
But, then I finished my Studio Manager product. As I was sitting in a crumpled heap, totally exhausted and depleted, a brilliant idea occurred. I could get an iPod touch as a reward for my extraordinary efforts and accomplishment of getting the new software out the door.
Thin. All of a sudden my iPhone seems thick and clunky -- just a little bit. The iPhone does seem large, almost bulky once you hold the two, one in each hand. Really glad the iPod touch is so skinny.
Here's the plan. I haven't jailbroken my iPhone and am patiently waiting until February or whenever more apps show up for it. But, I plan to very soon jail break the iPod touch and use it as my play ground, saving my iPhone in its pristine condition.
Of course, it is quite possible that once I jail break the iPod touch and start having more fun there, I will feel constrained with my stock iPhone. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
I do have to say that the video on the iPod touch is great. The iPod aspect is good but it is not quite as nice as the iPhone 9 (lack of volume buttons, speaker...). However, there's 16 gigs of space and it was really easy to exceed 8 gigs.
I am posting here in case a few of my readers have or have an interest in the iPod touch and in jail breaking these things and in native apps for iPod touch and iPhone. Let me know you guys.
