an oxymoron

A few days ago I got this iPod Touch. Since this is the first iAnything I've ever owned, I've spent the past few days on a steep learning curve trying to configure everything and just find my way around this new environment. The vast differences between the workings of Windows and Apple iPod products are both refreshing and infuriating.

Some things are, frankly, bizarre. Like getting a pdf reader app to read pdfs, fine. But requiring a WiFi internet connection to transfer pdf files to your iPod, when the iPod is ALREADY connected via a direct USB connection to your PC? Come on now. Unless I'm missing something vital?...

I don't know. It's different. I like it. But it'll take a LOT of learning and getting used to.

(The quality is a bit grainy, thanks to poor indoor late-night-lamp-lit-room light and a flash that washed out the screen if I turned the ISO to anything below 1600.)
i dont own and i'anything either, would love an iphone, then ipad and / or imac!! sigh!!!

Nice photo of your frustration LOL!

I have an iPod Touch too but I don't use it for pdf files, or reading. Mainly I use it for when I go out to eat, or somewhere else for the internet connection. I don't even have any music on mine LOL.

Great image, nice angle.
I have a touch also. I have realized the apps are designed for the iPhone, not the touch, so some don't work well. But I love my little toy, it goes everywhere with me. I am currently addicted to the angry birds game. I sometimes even use it to listen to music.
