Almost Perfect

I live in a rural area and Verizon is the only game in town, if you want to place calls at your residence. So I knew I wouldn't buy an iPhone until a 3G version debuted.
I did, however, want the capability of checking my email and website while out. I knew from experience with a notebook computer that there were lots of wireless connections that were free to use. So for that reason, the Touch was just what I wanted.
I really like typing on this - what a difference when compared to texting on a cellphone. The feedback when you're using the qwerty keyboard is super. What a well-thought-out interface. It works well enough so that I find myself typing full email replies instead of cryptic text-message relies.
I always have a movie or two, and some unwatched TV shows stored on it. I watch when I'm waiting in doctor's offices or when I'm having my car worked on. The screen is gorgeous.
Ironically, I prefer my iPod nano for listening to podcasts. The iPod Touch has a drill-down for podcasts and playlists that I just don't feel comfortable with. And to be perfectly frank, my all-time favorite podcast listening device is my original shuffle - but my husband takes the shuffle with him now. The Touch's menu system for podcasts is why I rated it only 4 -stars.
I use the notepad function a lot, as well as the calender function. I store all my grocery lists in notes, along with my to-do lists.
When Apple removed the phone, why didn't they leave the camera? That's one thing I could not understand. There are simply times when I need to take a quick picture of something, and if I'm carrying the Touch, why not use this? Instead, I have to pull out my phone or my Sony camera. When I'm taking a quick photo, I don't need super high resolution - it's usually a reference image, not something to archive. The 2-megapixel camera in the iPhone would have been perfectly fine. I hope they include this function in the next generation.
I'd buy it again, and happily connect to my gmail account now. If they include a camera in the next version, I might buy that too. |
