Got the Ipod Touch 4 (Unboxing)

I got my new Ipod Touch a day today instead of Monday! By chance, I went on the Amazon website to check the status of my package and found that my package was here in town. I called the postal service and sure as hell my Ipod Touch was waiting for me to pick it up. I put on a coat, got on my bike, and flew to the postal office.

I've been playing with it for about an hour now. I'm already disappointed by a couple of Ipod Touch's aspects, but It'll be a couple of days until I'm sure what I like and what I don't like about the Ipod Touch 4. I've never had an Ipod Touch so I don't think I have anything to compare it to besides maybe my Acer netbook and my dad's Blackberry.

If you actually wanted to know about the packaging,

The Ipod Touch case that you would see at the Apple Store is a crystal clear casing. On the top and bottom (both shorter sides of the ipod) there is a tape to keep the clear casing closed. I have to peel the tape to get the casing open. Peeling the tape was not too hard but I did have to use some pliers off my swiss army knife.

I finally got the crystal casing open, and the Ipod is strapped with a light film of sticker-like plastic to a square of the same material that the casing is made out of. You have to take the Ipod, attached to the piece of plastic, out of the case and then undo the strap in the back. I wonder how much money went into the making of slits for the piece of plastic. I'll have to take pics so you can grasp what I'm talking about. I'll save that for a Ipod Touch (packaging) post.

Ipod Touch 4G Shipped

My Ipod Touch 4g was shipped by Amazon today! I'm excited! I should be getting it on the 6th of December; Monday of next week. Yesterday, I looked at some youtube videos on how fast you can surf with the new Ipod Touch; Of course, the speed at which you can surf the web is relative to the speed offered by your Service Provider and the quality of your WiFi router etc.. However the interface for surfing the web and the speed was beautiful. I can't wait.
The person that was buying my Kindle backed out so I might be putting my Kindle up on Ebay since nobody responded to it on Craigslist.

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.
