Hello everyone,
So, I'm thinking about treating myself to a new iPod for my birthday.
Which is a huge deal for me, because i'm a terrible decision maker. Some members who helped me choose my camera may be able to verify.
Anyway, I was considering a nano. After that, a classic, now, a touch.
At first I would never consider an iPod Touch, the touch screen just doesn't seem very natural to me, I don't really like the idea of scrolling through cover flow, especially since for some reason on iTunes I have a whole bunch of album covers for songs by the same artist on the same CD.
There is a lot of covers.
But, the wifi is a BIG plus for me since I use dial up at home.
If i'm at a friends house, or a relative, I could check my email and do some facebooking! That's sounds like heaven to me!;D
The idea of Mail and wifi on an iPod is so cool to me, but I don't know if i'll be able to get past the new style (Not to mention the price) and take the dive.
I know for sure that I wouldn't be taking it with me every day when I go to school, at 7AM on a dark school bus doesn't seem like a fun place to be touching a screen on an iPod. But, I have a shuffle which mostly meets my needs for the walk, and even if the shuffle doesn't suit me much longer for commuting, I have a mini that only needs a new battery for now.
But, for the price of an iPod Touch I could also trade out my clamshell and get a decent laptop and do the same things, just not conveniently.
Also I have large size fingers, has anyone had an issue with that with the iPod Touch?
I'm just REALLY BAD at this decision stuff!
It's like decisionophobia! (I just made that word up)
Before I choose I will be going down to the Apple store to try all of the iPods, but I don't know if that will help my decision much.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tanner.
