Yeah, my brother bought me my iPod Touch. I still love it, 6GB space is fine and dandy for now.



I'm officially jealous of you.

I doubt anything will noticeably change to the consumers. He's still staying as Chairman of Apple, and will still be putting his input into the products.

Aww, that sucks.

I have a hand-me-down iPod Touch from my cousin and a refurbished MacBook and both are pretty good for me. :cool:

More like Steve Jobless amirite

Apple stocks are going to go:

Which sucks because he hasn't really been "in office" for a while due to his health.

I hope they don't. I'm selling mine once the new Iphone comes out.

That's not really a job.

pictures like this kinda make you sad

If Steve Jobs had a job he'd be Steve Jobs.

If Steve Jobs was a criminal he'd be Steve Robs.

Lol, are they still zapping their users? I think I'll stick with my 32GB iPod Touch thankyouverymuch. It's sleek and has a :drool:worthy screen. Sound quality leaves something to be desired but I only put MP3s on it anyway.

Yeh. They need to devote more of their resources back into Mac and OSX development.

As awesome as iPod Touches are, I never understood why people see a need to do more with an mp3 player than just play music. The only reason I'd get a Touch is because the Nano is unreasonably expensive for what you get. It is too small and has very little storage space.



This. Also, I think that Tim Cook should consider opening up OS X a bit more -- perhaps sell the OS or another version to place on non-Apple PCs. Of course, that's wishful thinking because they make a shit-load of cash by selling somewhat outdated hardware at unreasonable prices with software not many people will use (Garageband, for example).

P.S. Did you know Tim Cook is gay? I can imagine all the homophobic Mac and iPhone/Pad/Pod users freaking out right now. :rob:

But it's not just an MP3 player my iPod touch is essentially the way I organise my life. My phone is old and crappy and hard to use so my touch is like my personal organiser. For this it's brilliant mainly because of its ease of use. I have an organisation app that put any events/appointments in and as soon as I get home and the touch sees my MBP on the wireless network all the events etc sync. I have all my timetables on it, take photos of diagrams and stuff at uni to remember (or photos of settings when I'm working with physical audio equipment)

It has all my music on it, maintains a steady flow of podcasts to keep me interested on trains, has an offline Sydney public transport app so I can type a start point and an end point and it'll tell exactly when and where I have to be to catch bus/train/ferry, I use it as a remote for apps on my computer, a presentation device for slide shows, a metronome and tuner for practicing music, an easy way to perform unit conversions and a graphic calculator, dictionary and music theory handbook... to name a few things I use it for regularly. All that in something roughly 10x4x0.5cm and weighing only a couple of hundred grams.

If you want something to be just a portable media device then don't by an iPod, go buy a Cowan device or something like that.

Apple's face when people buy their products

Yeah, I might later on get a Cowon or SanDisk MP3 player (my previous player was stolen). All I really want is a device that plays music; I don't care about anything else.

The touch isn't an MP3 player, it's a PDA. People think of it as an MP3 player with extra shit thrown in, but feature-wise it's identical to those fat PocketPCs people used to carry around.

*shrugs* I guess you're right.

Which is why I don't own an Apple product. :cool:

Doesn't 1st gen anything suck?(references an earlier thread about a certain Mac OS...) I have a 2nd gen :p
