And the winner is….
As you can see I decided to buy the i-Pod Touch based on the overwhelming recommendations on this blog and from speaking to friends. Bought the 32GB version from Alghanim for KD112 (I had a KD20 voucher so paid KD92)- they threw in a free Philips CD/radio alarm clock (which also has a connector for the i-Pod but no snooze button !!) and a KD 5 voucher which I used to buy the (apprently essential) rubber case to protect the i-Pod.
What first struck me about my i-Pod was how incredibly thin and light it is. Its practically flat ! I was however surprised with the little documentation that came with it though. Luckily I had read on Amazon that it needed to be charged for a whole 2 hours before being used, otherwise I would not have known. I have a ton of music so as first step had to transfer them all to i-Tunes which took a lot less time than I thought. As I have far more music than space I couldn’t just automatically sync all the songs at once to the device, so had to select the albums I wanted - again this was a piece of cake.
Once I uploaded all the songs, the first pleasnt surprise is that you can hear the music without the headphones! Ok its not very loud but a nice feature. Browsing music is a breeze using the touch screen and super easy. I then watched a video clip on the Touch and the screen is big enough to actually watch something for more than just a few minutes.
I then used the email function. It took 30 seconds to set up and I was able to view and send emails on Yahoo (using my home’s wi-fi). Even better is the i-Pod Touch’s web browser to surf the net - what a joy !
So I started off buying the i-Pod Touch to have the best mp3 player. What I got was not only a fantastic mp3 player with a touch screen, but as close as you can get to the ultimate gadget (probably bettered only by the i-Phone). I am so happy with this !!
Any recommendations for cool apps for my new i-Pod Touch are highly appreciated !!
