iPod Touch

A new gadget making an appearance....

The HOME button

It may be late in the game, but decided to go for it and got the iPod Touch 16 GB. Have to say, I'm really impressed with the features and the interface. You can imagine the "krrrrr" sound as you flick thru the list and browsing the web (Some of The Lunch Gang would remember this :-) ).

That's the great thing about this gadget. Even normally mundane tasks such as scrolling and selecting is fun. Apart from the normal music, video player and picture browser (it IS an iPod after all), you get Safari, YouTube, Contacts and so forth. After shelling extra for the January software update, it now includes Mail, Maps and Stocks just to mention a few. Checking e-mails is really convenient. You can even now customise the home screen and re-arrange the icons or add new ones. I'm now going crazy with adding icons for web apps including one for Facebook.

To protect the iPod, went for the Reflect Mirrored case by Griffin. It does add bulk to the iPod but it makes it more handy I think. At the back, there's a rubbery surface which protects the iPod from scratches. With the case, there's even a screen protector included with cleaning cloth which is a nice bonus.

Si Boom-Boom as the wallpaper ;-)

At the top and bottom, there's full access to the power button, port and earphone socket.

The home screen

Heard about the term "jailbreaking" which enables the iPod Touch to install and run 3rd party softwares. A bit weary about this and fear that it may render the iPod useless. Any experience out there?

PS- Thanks to Bung Taufik's Canon 400D (and its growing arsenal! heheh) for these pics.
