Marty loves shiny new things
You can’t wipe the smile off my face today. My lovely amazing wife bought me an iPod Touch for my birthday (and gave it to me early). I have no idea where she got the money from - maybe she won it on a horse ‘cos there’s certainly four-fifths of nothing in our bank account. Maybe we’re not eating for a fortnight or something.
Anyway, back to the toy. It’s gorgeous. We tried to take some photos but they don’t do it justice. In fact no photo taken by anyone will probably do it justice because the killer feature of this thing is the user interface, i.e. the touch screen. But here are two of me using it anyway. I’m checking my gmail.
It is soooooo slick to use. I love it! I’ve loaded 100 albums onto it and 10 podcasts (just under 5gb), 180 of my favourite photos (116mb), an episode of Summer Heights High (100mb), and four video podcasts (44mb). I tend to keep podcasts that I’ve watched or listened to rather than deleting them but won’t store them on the Touch, that’s what my external HDD is for. I’ll use iTunes to automatically download and sync up new podcasts when they’re published. It’s covered in fingerprints already but I don’t care about that. They wipe off easily enough.
Train journeys will never be the same again!

Lucky you!
I’ve made a vow to myself that I will get an ipod (even if its a basic one with no fancy video screen) before any of my kids do! I need one for the next time I’m in hospital- its just not the done thing anymore to have a portable cd player and a drawer full of cds!
Congrats on your early birthday pressie!
