So I just bought an iPod touch to replace the classic I just sold. So far I’m pretty happy with it. The apps are fairly rediculous. Typing is a little hard with the chincy little keys but overall it’s not too shabby. It’s good enough to write this with.

The Wordpress app is particularly awesome. The lack of a delete key or the ability to copy & paste is a little annoying. That’s pretty easily overlooked just due to the fact that it is so easy to type up a blog and post from where ever you happen to have wireless.

That’s the one thing that would be better about having an iPhone instead. Because then you aren’t even tied to a wireless hotspot, which I have to admit would be pretty cool.

Of course, given how often I actually post to this blog, it probably doesn’t matter. Hopefully the coming fall semester should give more material to blog about.

So now I’m writing this on my brand new iPhone. The 3G Internet more than makes up for the fact that I had to pay a $200.00 deposit to AT&T.

T-Mobile is of course being a pain in the ass as regards my old phone. They insist that I have a contract even though I never signed any such thing. To counter this I changed the credit card number to a Paypal generated one with a one time use, and then immediately canceled it. Assholes.

At any rate, I can’t even begin to describe how cool it is to walk down the street while listening to a Pandora station. It is quite literally, the bees knees.

I’m putting the touch for sale on eBay to recoup the costs. I’m also throwing in my old iPod dock, as the case I bought wouldn’t allow the phone to fit into it, even if I had the proper dock adapter, which I don’t.

I’m getting pretty fast at typing on this thing now. It’s pretty impressive what this thing will autocorrect from. You can hit completely the wrong keys and still get the right word. Kudos to Apple for that.
