iPod: A Love Story
Thursday, June 10th, 2010
My iPod Touch has gone from a nifty little extravagance to an integral part of my life. It stores all my music. It holds videos to entertain me when the doctor is running 45 minutes late. It is my alarm clock. My personal assistant. I listen to it at home and at work and in the car driving to and from work.
I use it to check the weather forecast in the morning. I use it to keep the kids occupied with games and videos. I download comic books via the Comixology app. Ask me about my kids and I’ll...

I knew that the 3g was not what people were expecting and that it was a major let down, but after comparing the prices for a used 2g via Amazon or Ebay to the prices of a new iTouch, I decided that I was going to get something brand spanking new.
I will put this out there, I hate iTunes...
Is the iPod Overrated?
Friday, October 9th, 2009
In my, opinion, many people buy iPods, not because of capabilities, but because of the name. There are many equal, but under loved competitors.
Let's talk about the biggest, but still relatively unknown competitor, Microsoft's Zune. The Zune is a digital audio player produced by Microsoft. The line also includes Zune software and the Zune Marketplace services sold by Microsoft, which provide online music, video, and podcast downloads. The Zune 30, the first generation Zune music player, has a 30 GB hard drive, 3” screen, and simple directional pad for menu navigation. The second generation set of Zunes includes the Zune 4, 8,...
An iPod Touch Saga
Friday, October 2nd, 2009
Remember that time when you finally mustered up enough money to splurge? After a few weeks, or months, of thinking about how you wanted a new mp3 player but did not know if you wanted the whole nine yards (Internet browser, stopwatches, touch screen, playlists, album art, etc. ) you finally gathered up your confidence to purchase the famed iPod Touch. Either that or you decided that it was time for a new MacBook, and you took the deal that enabled you to get a Touch for dirt cheap.
Well, if you were an iPod Touch consumer by method of...
