Customer Review: IN LOVE with my touch
Ive downloaded alost all the free apps and will never be bored after getting the ipod touch
Customer Review: IPOD touch is like a pda
I picked out the IPOD Touch 16g because of the reviews. It was just what I have been looking for to replace my PDA. I have use Palm and Dell PDAs in the past. This is much easier to navigate than either product. It is a fraction of the size and does everything I need it to and more as I gain experience with it. I didn't get the one with the phone. I just didn't need that product. It has an easy to navigate calender with a list feature. Using this I can quickly see all upcoming appointments. It has an audible alarm. Putting in contacts and associating birthdays is easy too. Then it associates the information with your calender. I can also use notes in the contact section to put in peoples clothes sizes or kids names or whatever I want. To synchronize or charge I just plug it into my computer and I don't have to give it any commands. I put books on tape, bible on CD, prayers, and all kinds of music on it. It sorts them easily so I can find any thing I need with a quick touch even with the 20 years worth of CDs I have collected. They are easy to delete too. It has a simple calculator which is handy. I never need graphing functions at work, just basic functions. It has all I need. There is a note feature. I can keep lists on it. I use it to keep track of movie and book recommendations people give me. I use it for my gift list for Christmas. I use it to carry measurements of my windows and rooms in case I find furniture or curtains I don't have to wait to measure to see if they will fit. I also keep notes with all my family vaccinations and health information. It is really handy not having a bunch of slips of paper to thumb through and loose. It surfs the internet faster than my own desk top, but the font is small and the trick of super-sizing it took me about a week to learn. I have bookmarked important sites and you tube videos I have wanted to share. When I am done, it is easy to delete any book marks. Typing comments on blogs or other information took me a week to learn. The keyboard requires a certain touch. A little practice and there is nothing to it. I have wide fingers and have found the right way to hold it to type without errors. No stylus is used. I use it everyday to check my AOL email account. The battery runs down quickly when using the internet. If I want it to last a whole shift at work, I have to turn off the wifi connection. It takes 3 quick clicks to do that. No big deal. Several nurses I work with have taken a tour of my IPOD and are getting their own. My only regret is not getting more memory. I have never needed more with my other PDA, but this does so much more and is more fun. I want to use it every day. This is a wonderful product for the older adult who may have a hard time learning how to use new technology. And it is a product my children wish they could have. I am looking forward to playing games on it in the future.
