Birthday Week!
Posted by delta on October 13th, 2007
My brother in laws birthday was a few days ago, my newphews was yesterday, and my wife and mom’s birthday are tomorrow. We celebrated my wife’s today – she wanted a day for herself…
Got my wife an iPod Touch. It’s a pretty cool little device. When I was doing the Lexus, all the guys who came in from out-of-state had an iPhone (and they constantly wanted me to play with it to see what hacks I could make for it); Rusty (the TD at the MACC) got one (and spent a litle time showing it off to me) last week; I’ve been trying to find a personal use for this thing but can’t think of anything other than the “cool” factor; but when I went to the local Mac store they had an iPod touch…
I instantly saw a use for it for my wife. It totally does all the stuff she needs something like that to do – and she doesn’t have to carry a laptop sized device around with her. Specifically, it can have all her calendars on hand 24/7 (she’s always asking me my schedule, now she has it every morning when she syncs), and her pictures will be on hand as well (she’s always taking pics and telling her mom about them, now she can show her). Those were two big things for her that this thing takes care of. Another thing she always needs on-hand is her address book and music – she’s always trying to refer to them and has to tell people she’ll get back to them when she gets home. She’s only had it for a day and she’s already using it like a pro – she’s very stoked on it – I think I just remedied a few things with this little device…
I, myself, have little use for one – but she definately needed it. I’m still using my 5th Gen 80GB Video iPod everyday and loving it, so everyone has what they need at the moment…
I, also, found it easy to configure to my wireless network as well – she won’t do anything which will require a password online with it, so it’s just for surfing the net on the rare occassion that she doesn’t want to do it on her computer…
All around, it’s perfect for her, I just wish it had more of what I need…
