My New Toy
Sep 15th 2007Nik AgarwalTechnology/Internet
For many months, I had been eagerly awaiting the introduction of a device that I strongly believe would revolutionize the industry. Apple has been able to corner the digital music market quite rapidly and they continue to innovate in that area consistently and regularly. Earlier this month, Steve Jobs - CEO of Apple Inc. - introduced the iPod Touch. Like the iPhone, the iPod Touch has a similar touch-screen and is much thinner.
I know the picture quality is poor, but you can blame my camera phone on that.
Since this is a brand-spanking-new product, I opted to purchase the AppleCare extended warranty. Other than physical abuse if anything were to go wrong with the iPod, Apple will repair or replace my iPod Touch at their cost. Since not very many people have their hands on the iPod Touch, it is difficult to say what problems I may face. I could have waited a few weeks after the device became popular before purchasing mine, but then again, I have been waiting for some time, and I could not wait anymore.
The best part about this iPod is the fact that it does have Wi-Fi (e.g. wireless internet) capability. Now I can browse the web, listen to music or watch videos, all from the comfort of my seat in a boring lecture hall. Did you purchase an iPhone or iPod Touch? I would be interested in learning about what other iPod Touch owners have to say about their device.

I was looking at the ipod touch the other day at best buy — after playing with it. I wasnt too impressed. I guess I was expecting more. It’s not very practical to have to be looking at the screen every time you want to change a song or something — say youre doing some multi tasking — its not a very convenient ipod.
