On our lunchtime walk today my lovely gorgeous wife led me to the Apple Store at Myer Melbourne, walked up to the iPod Touch, and bought one. It’s my birthday present (no idea where she got the money from - clearly she’s been saving) and although she tried, she simply couldn’t NOT give it to me there and then - even though it’s not my birthday until next week. I’m such a spoilt child.
I have no idea whether or not she read my recent post “Which iPod should my wife buy me”, but I’ve been bending her ear about the convergence of video, wifi and cheap computing for a while now so she’s clearly put two and two together.
So right now I’m in Australia on Collins downloading iTunes 7.4 (hooray for free wifi - see my post from this morning) so that I can format it, set it up, load it up with music and video and start using it.
It’s such a slick little thing. It’s covered in fingerprints already but I try not to sweat the small stuff.
Gotta go - iTunes download is complete.

Just going through the registration process now via iTunes. I named it “Touch” but I have Bluey and Fatty at home (and MacBook, which is about as original as Touch), so I’m thinking of changing that to “Barney”. No idea why. Might get around to that later.

OK - syncing music now. Selected a bunch of playlists (albums). 1084 songs to start, which is about 1/3rd of my 14gb library. I’m sure I’ll tweak what’s there over time so that there’s enough room for video, podcasts, a selection of photos etc.
Next task when it’s synced is to get some video on there, have a bit of a play, then I’d better get back to work.
