iPod Touch~

(Edited at 1042, 08/19/09)

On 10th August 2009, I made a big decision by buying an iPod Touch 16GB (2nd generation)
Of course, the decision was not easy to made
I never had the intention of having one actually :p

After more than a week using it, I think about giving my review to this gadgets~
Only the basics
(This review is mostly targeted to my friends who are going to US, especially to those who are going to buy an iPod there :D)

FYI, this is my first time to own an Apple product
____________________________________________________________________

Design

With size 110mm x 61.8mm x 8mm and screen size of 3.5 in, it couldn't get any better. It will fit into most of your pockets, but maybe just fit enough if you are wearing jeans XD
The screen is large enough for you to feel the sensation of navigating through the iPod at your fingertips. Believe me, you feel satisfied just by sliding the menu!



Connectivity

-Wi-Fi (the main reason for having iPod :p)
-Bluetooth (for 3.0 only, which you can upgrade within iTunes)
-USB port 2.0

Battery

Using non-removable lithium battery with built in charger, it can last for about 6 hours for videos, and about 36 hours for musics
The battery drains very fast if you use it with Wi-Fi connection

Functions

It has Sarari web browser, mail, Youtube, Google maps, voice memos, music player, video player, photos, App Store and iTunes
You need to have iTunes in your laptop to put songs, videos, photos and applications to your iPod
Alternatively for applications, you can download it from your iPod using App Store



There are a lot of Apps that you can download from App Store, including games, al-Quran, dictionary, and many more



Some Apps that I would like to highlight are Yahoo! Messenger, Skype, Facebook and eBuddy, since these Apps make it easier for you to get connected, especially if you want to contact your parents at home :) (fall under 'Social Networking' category)

For calling using Skype, you need to buy earphones with mic, which you can get in stores for RM129.00 (in Machines store)



Ease of use

Since browsing using the iPod is all about touching the screen with your finger, it can be better or worse sometimes.


You can navigate very quickly and it is very smooth, but you will have difficulties to type when you use it for the few first time
I guesss the only problem is when your finger is too big for certain tasks xp


_______________________________________________________________

I guess that is the basic of it
For the prices, you can google it for more accurate price
I bought it for RM1229.oo~
Do ask me if you have any inquiries! I'd be happy to help~

I use the iPod Touch for :
- Music
- Browsing internet
- Google Maps
- Check my mails
- Yahoo! Messenger
- Skype-ing
- Facebook-ing
- Dictionary
- al-Quran
- Playing games (a must for me!!)



(For next post, I will compare iPod Touch with Nintendo DS Lite and PSP-2000)

    adam - kat rumah aku, aku mmg online all the time

A Little Debate About Love and Commitment

A week after thanksgiving, we had a group discussion about Islam. To make it short, suddenly it become a debate of my commitments toward someone. Yes, it is about love. These are the questions, and my answer: If you guys love each other, why don't you just be in relationship? If we are in love, doesn't mean we MUST be in love. Being in relationship doesn't give any assurance that you are going to get married to each other. Most of my friends that are in relationship often ended up in failure, though a few (like one out of 50) still manage to maintain for 3-4 years. If you are ready to be in relationship, then you must be ready to get married. You give your commitment, attention and time for your partner, isn't it the same as married couple?* I never say being is relationship is wrong, but people who in relationship is the trouble. We always want the good thing (getting attention, sharing our love, etc) but always avoid the hard part (our responsibilities, commitment, et

Post yang asal telah di-save di dalam laptop aku, so anggap la yang tak membace tu...kurang bertuah 1) Jangan aa merajuk 2) Ko pun ...ah malas aa nak cakap 3) Semoga berbahagia 4) Lepas nie kita kena lebih mengekspresi kan perasaan kita dengan cara yang lebih sihat. Terima kasih sebab sanggup turun datang jumpa aku dulu untuk menerangkan everything :) Aku bukannya hendak merendahkan mana2 pihak, tapi mungkin method aku agak extreme. Minta maaf kepada semua pihak yang terlibat.
