iPod Applications
Guess what? I have an iPod Touch Second Generation. I love it. I mostly use it for an internet device (checking email or surfing the web) while being mobile (watching television). This device is just like the iPhone, minus the AT&T expensive phone contract and camera and mic. What I absolutely love about the iPod Touch is the built-in speakers. Seriously, all iPods should have built-in speakers. If you are interested in getting movies you own from DVD, I recommend the paid DVD Fab and for free, I hear Handbrake does a great job (although I've never used it). Set pixels to 480x* to optimize for the iPod or iPhone. Oh, yeah besides the internet, watching movie, and games, it also plays music. If you're in the market for a new music device, you may want to reconsider getting the Touch. The cheapest model is 8 gigs for $229, it's cheaper than most Netbooks so keep that in mind if you are thinking of getting a net device for travel. iPod TouchPRICE: $229, $299, $399PROS: Too many to mention, see description above. CONS: You have to use iTunes. You must use its touch interface, so if you have no fingers, you're out of luck. I also don't like that you can't play videos in 'sleep' mode and there is no controls in landscape mode for audio (seriously, WTF is that about?). The chrome back is easily scratch (as with all iPods) so you must spend another $30 on a iPod case. The cost associated with any Apple products is unbelievable too. So before you dive into Apple, make sure you can afford it.Below is my guide to ten applications that I love (mostly free too!). PLEASE send me your suggestions... I am a cheapskate, so I prefer the free ones.
