New iPod Touch Section PDF Print E-mail
iPod Touch - Latest
Written by Jim Trottier   
Friday, 29 January 2010 23:40

I decided to create an "iPod Touch" section on my site because of my recent obsession (a.k.a. addiction).  If it's going to eat up most of my free time, I thought I could at least share my experiences with it and maybe get some input from other Touch or iPhone owners out there.  At the very least maybe I can even talk a few "potential" Touch owners to get off the fence and take the leap.  So this is it, my first Touch article.  I'll figure out how to separate these articles from the main blog too, so us Touch Geeks can have our own separate lil area here.

I'm in the "app discovery" stage with my touch, but I'm quickly learning that this just may be a "permanent destination" rather than a stage.  The apps just keep coming and coming.  They said "over 140,000 apps" recently, which is amazing.  Granted, 95% of them are probably crap, but then the other 5% have got to be amazing, right?  And what's 5% of 140,000? Something like...7,000 apps! This makes me a little disappointed to find that I can only have 11 pages of apps on the Touch, 16 apps per page, or a maximum of 176 apps.  I still have a few pages left to fill, but every week I find a few more I just gotta have.  Many are free too, believe it or not, and even a few great ones are free.

Hans got me started on free radio by mentioning Radio Paradise.  Since then I've tried Last.fm, Pandora and a few others, some even streaming thousands of radio stations from Shoutcast and other popular Internet broadcasting formats.  Today I found Slacker Radio, another one I like a lot with some nice options.  And the other day I found Moodagent, which doesn't stream radio at all, it uses my own music collection on my iPod to generate instant playlists based on my mood.  It displays 5 color-coded slider bars--one each for Sensuality, Tenderness, Joy, Agressiveness, and Tempo.  I slide one or more bars up or down to provide More or less music containing that particular amount of that feature, and it instantly generates a playlist of songs on my iPod.  When a song I like a lot is playing, with one click I can also generate an instant playlist tweaked to the exact properties of that song itself.  Interesting.  It seems to work quite well, and it's fun to tinker with.

K, that's it for today's Touch update. p.s. - This week I realized that my iPod Touch has now become basically an "iPad Nano."

avatar Hey, it's not MY fault it's called the Ipod and not the JPod... It's only one
letter off, otherwise it'd be yours.

Just tell her you're trying to
compromise... You could be begging for one of those giant, very expensive
iPads... But no, you only want a LITTLE one, that's not much to ask. Give her
your 160GB like I did with Sandy. Fill it up with her favorite artists...She'll
love you long time.
