I got a Giant iTouch

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

It’s happened. I’ve been gifted a Mac product.

I’m not denying this is a pretty piece of hardware. It’s sleek and has been designed to handle images and music in the most awesome way possible. Its top-of-the-line inner things maximize the battery life. The part I loathe is that all the cool stuff costs money and there are no USB or firewire ports. The only way into that thing other than the magical one little dock/port/soul suck thing under the home button is… i can’t find a way, nor a way to easily go “back,” and the wireless picker-upper isn’t as powerful as my laptop’s.

With this all in mind, I’m going to do my damnedest to make use of this giant iPhone that can’t make calls. Somehow this iTouch without a camera will become part of the business side of Haddadadad. My aunt meant well when giving me this really really nice and trendy computer screen, and I should use it. There’s bound to be good uses photography-wise.

I’m all for paying for quality programs that help me actually do something useful, like a Photoshop dealy or a music editor with tons of options. Paying for instant messengers, RSS readers, most games, and photo trinkets are not on my list. The only free multi-platform messengers are made for iPhones for now.

Palringo shows up tiny on the screen. It’s kind of adorable and sad and annoying at the same time. The important thing for now is the application works! Woohoo! Communication.

I still can’t find my battery charger.
