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. Adi?s 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……
Welcome to the world of Steve Jobs. Your next step is a MacBook Pro. You’ll love it. That was my progression. The iPhone led to the MacBook Pro and hopefully a Mac Mini soon.
I used to be just like you. Laughing at the Apple fanboys and enjoying my Ubuntu laptop. Now I’m one of them. Drinking the kool-aid from the Cupertino fountain of life.
And yes, I’m writing this comment on my iPhone.
“Come on in boys, the water is fine.”
ohh. …. I think I’ll be able to hold off until the iPhone is available in my area to convert. I am kinda like the Mechanic who works on cars all day and drives the clunker car. So it will take something big. Unfortunatly the iPhone 3g. That’s big enough for me.
This is what I like, cultural diversity
