new ipod touch mehhhhh



Morgin, yall

Well ever since Fran got her iphone i have been wanting a similar experience, but after hearing the rumors on the interweb, i thought i would wait till they came out with the new one.  There were rumors of a camera and GPS, but when i rolled out of bed an hour after the event, these rumors turned out to be just that.

Apple is a great company and make nice stuff, but there events as of late have been less that spectacular and today was no exception.

Basically it has a new back, hard volume buttons, and a price point break, 8 GB for 229.  Thats 30 bucks more than original estimates but whatever 30 bucks.  

To be honest i was really hoping for the GPS, so many applications and possiblities for GPS, geotagging, and location based do hickeys are really nice on the iphone, but i guess i will have to live without it.

The Touch is still amazing, and i still want one, did i mention its my birthday.  It a great time for technology and my last post with pics from 1987 reminds me how far its come.

Back in 1987 when i was going to community college, computers were just not readily available, and for shure i couldn't afford one even if they where, the ipod was the walkman or swap meet equivalent.  There was no internet, no digital cameras, 20 odd years wow, things have changed so much, its great.

Glad i made it this far, and i hope i got another 100 years in me so i can see how far we go from here.

Enjoy.
