iPod Touch Features

Think of the iPod touch as a stripped-down version of the iPhone instead of a revved-up iPod. The iPod touch is a few centimeters smaller in length and depth, and it weighs about half an ounce less than the iPhone. The iPhone's battery lasts a longer than the one in the iPod touch. The iPhone has about 24 hours of audio or seven hours of video playback time, while the iPod touch can play 22 hours of audio or five hours of video on a full charge.

The iPod touch's home screen also looks like the iPhone's, but with fewer icons. From the home screen, you can get to the iPhone's e-mail client, text-messaging capabilities, digital camera and collection of mini-applications called widgets. And, of course, you can also use the iPhone as a cellular phone. The iPod touch doesn't share any of these features, but the two devices do have a few things in common, including:
* Flash memory (8 GB for the iPhone, 8 or 16 GB for the iPod touch)
* WiFi capabilities (802.11b/g)
* Safari Web browser
* Audio, video and photo storage and playback
* YouTube video player
* Calendar and contacts that synch with your computer
* Clock and calculator applications
* Access to the iTunes Music Store via WiFi
* Dock and headphone connections

The iPod touch also costs roughly the same amount as an iPhone or an iPod classic, but each of these devices has significantly different features and capabilities. Here's a run-down of the costs, (these prices change rapidly):
* iPod touch: $299 for 8 GB, $399 for 16 GB
* iPhone: $399 for 8 GB, plus the cost of a cell-phone service plan
* iPod classic: $249 for 80 GB, $349 for 160 GB
* iPod nano: $149 for 4GB, $199 for 8 GB

In terms of storage space, the iPod touch is comparable to the iPhone and the iPod nano. It costs about the same as the iPhone, but it's significantly more expensive than the nano, which costs less than $200. The iPod touch also has far less storage space than the iPod classic, but their prices are roughly the same.

In summary, when you buy an iPod touch, you're basically paying extra for WiFi capabilities, widescreen display and touch-sensitive user interface.

What does a MacBook Pro and a Porsche have in Common?

The first computers I ever had to use and work on, many years ago, were IBMs. That was when you had to use DOS for everything. Whenever anything went wrong, it was a major problem. As, the years went on and I continued working for companies doing things like CRT data entry, I had to keep working on PC'S. I remember working on a few Dells and Gateways that were getting faster but still very stale, impersonal and very, very prone to viruses and crashes. To be honest, I kind of think the acronym 'PC' should stand for 'Pathetic Computers' or "Pieces of CaCa"! (Sorry PC users, nothing personal. But you really should consider crossing over. They say once you go Mac, you never go back.) :)

O.K. enough PC bashing... Moving on, I eventually started looking around to figure out what I wanted to do in life, other than data entry on a PC. I took a career interest aptitude test that told me that 'desktop publishing' (nowadays commonly referred to as graphic design) was a career I should check out. So, I promptly registered for a class at the local community college. They had Macs in the classroom! I sat in one class playing with these Macintosh computers and software and absolutely fell in love! That was way back when they had the classics which are like 'collectibles' now. They certainly didn't have anything like the MacBook Pro 17 they have now! Still, I loved those little computers as do most people who become mac users. They didn't have viruses, you could personalize your whole interface with your mac, make it an extension of 'you'. You could work from your desktop, click on icons, change file names that way and so much more! Of course Windows has followed suit now but they are always 'behind' Apple in innovation, speed and cutting edge technology. Apple dominates hands down in the multimedia world! I would know, multimedia was my sole profession for well over a decade. (I am a degreed graphic designer, web designer and have managed several pre-press departments over the years. I've also owned and operated my own multimedia corporation for over 10 yrs.) I say this to tell you 'hands down' that apple products like the MacBook Pro 17 are bar none the BEST available on the market!

Macs are the Porsches of computers. They have the sleek sophistication, class, personality and looks. They also have all the bells and whistles. Lets not forget whats under the hood! Vroooommmmm!!! :) Let me put it this way, strap on your 3-point harness folks, this baby MOVES!!! She isn't cheap, but then neither is a Porsche. However, this is very gas economical! :) So put your Porsche away, and jump in the drivers seat of one of these mean machines , and take her for a spin. You can take one for a test drive at any local apple store. (I see apple stores in a lot of malls and stop in to play often.)

You'll never look back! :)
