The IPOD touch

In the midst of the move I decided to get an ipod to make the bachelor pad even schwanker.

You know because every bachelor pad needs to be schwanky.

So I had been looking on slickdeals.net (looking for cheap stuff since I have joined the ranks of the house poor). Anywho I saw a listing for refurbed iPods. Interested, and thinking I had more money than I did I started looking. Oh and prior to this I was what I call an anti apple snob. I had my alternative mp3 player and I would look down at the apple fanboys who constantly talk about the wonderful iPod. So this was a big step for me to be looking at an iPod.

Thought process went something like this.

“ohhhh. I need to get an iPod classic. I need to have 160 gigs of musical fury (those of you who know me know I have lots and lots of music).

Then it was “I want to see if there is a player with an even higher percentage off”

Then I found the iPod touch. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s an iPhone. Just without the the phone.

And the GPS

And the camera

So I was looking at it, with it’s wonderful rebate, and I start looking at forums. In the forums I see talk about jailbreaking

Hold the presses! Jailbroken? That means I can hack it!
Oh me likey. I hack stuff

TiVo? Hacked.
XBox ? Hacked.
Other stuff? Hacked.

So …..

I waited for it to arrive

And fedex didn’t leave it for me. More waiting.

So I got it. Jail broke it. And I am writing the blog post from the touch right now. I am a convert. Whenever AT&T gets to my place. Adiós Verizon!

The sad thing? I really don’t get a chance to listen to it that much.

Maybe I do need to get get an iPod classic……
