I have a good X'mas this year with family. The wife got me a Gucci wallet (!) for X'mas & Bday present and I just replaced my 2 yrs old nano with iPod Touch (8GB). Thank you, Universe.
Fresh stock of iPod touch just arrived in Singapore store today. This batch features the legendary John Lennon on as the cover boxart! Previously, it was Macy Gray and Corinne Bailey Rae.
I've been adding tons of songs from my iTunes, video files and photos to my new media player. This machine can surf the web via wifi, view YouTube video, check my Gmail etc etc. Totally cool as I do not think i will get an iPhone until 2009 or so. I heard there are many people modifying their iPod Touch to unlock and installed some of the iPhones application. For the time being, it's very cool and easy to navigate using the touch screen. The touch is really a hybrid device...something in between a mp3 player and a short of becoming a full PDA device. Technology certainly comes a long way since 4 years ago when I thought my Palm was cool.
My wishlist for iPod Touch:
a) Read pdf files (maybe it can, already)
b) plays GO chess game (there are some web apps designed for iPhones & Touch...)
c) Simple Notes taking (i heard with Jailbreak modding)
d) handle Javascript & Flash for web content
e) whatever....
The ability for this device to surf the net for basic info is astounding to me. The zoom in function and rendering speed is acceptable and it's really a wow for me.
