iPod Touch: I got it 8)

Davide's picture

Actually I got one 3 weeks ago or so.
It's great but it has some drawbacks:

Cons

* iTunes is even less intuitive now. With the main list, then the iPods' list and the tabs for movies, etc etc

* The front is very resistant but I already got some minor scratched on the back. Hopefully I can "clean" them up and then stick some self-adhesive film (only on the back)

* Controls are a bit too simple: one accidentally goes out from video viewer and then has to go back and scroll the list to find again the one he was watching (not easy with series and so on !)

* I really miss the scroll-wheel ! I often listen two two hours radio shows and its very hard to seek to the right place. Same gos with 20 minutes video clips.

Pros

* I don't use much the keyboard but it's not so bad. I could actually manage to type well after a few drinks, which makes me believe that Apple does test its things with non-sober people. Something that I believe everyone should do 8)

* It's the coolest gadget in town, really neat and girls dig it !!

* The web-browser is really nice, but has no Flash (minus ?) nor Java support (can't run my ancient racing "game" 8( )

...well, the SDK will be out in February and I think people will be able to code in OpenGL ES for it, which is really nice !

Safari automatically opens PDF files. The screen is a bit small to read comfortably however the real issue is that one has to be online to read those PDF ! They can't be sync-ed with iTunes 8(
Hopefully that will be fixed someday. Some people have hacked the Touch and installed a web server to run locally for this purpose, but I'm definitely not that desperate 8)

Anyhow, a cool gadget that helps spending time on daily commuters, and hopefully also on my future air travels. Monitors on airplanes suck and sometimes you don't even get those 8(

wooooooo
