Getting The Ipod Touch 4

I'm getting the Ipod Touch 4 as a Christmas present for myself.
Goodbye Kindle
I've had the Amazon Kindle 2ND Generation since a month before Amazon released its 3rd Generation Kindle. I was so mad when the new Kindle came with WiFi compatibility, an essential feature, only a month after I purchased the Kindle with no WiFi compatibility. I bought the Kindle for almost $200.00 (with a cover) and now I'm going to sell it for $120.00 towards my new purchase of an Ipod Touch 4.

The main reasons I want the Ipod Touch 4
  • Portability: The Ipod Touch will fit in my pocket and I won't have worry about looking like a ninja turtle everywhere I go because of the bulky backpack you have to wear to comfortably carry a laptop or netbook.
  • Readability: The new Ipod Touch has graphics capabilities that nearly parallel the Wii gaming console. I should have no problem using this device to read books, articles, posts, comments, status updates, comics, and other stuff I like to read.
  • Camera: I've been wanting a camera for some time to take pictures of random things and the Ipod Touch comes with a camera capable of 720p HD video which is more than half of what most high end TVs display (1080p).

I'm selling my Kindle 2.0 for $120.00 towards the Ipod Touch 4.0 for $270.00. Therefore, I will be $150.00 into my purchase. I will have lost a total of $180.00, the price of my Kindle and the leathery cover I bought with it a month or so before Kindle 3.0 was released. The $30.00 unaccounted for is about how much Kindle 2.0 depreciated since I bought it in May 2010. Kindle 3.0 is now selling for $189.00.

Oh dayum! Looks like someone has deffinitely done his background research on this one!

I'd say it is good change since change can also come with new opportunities and ways to enjoy things, I am sure you will be able to purchase it.

Have fun with it! :3
