Hi, how are you doing?

The iPod Touch that I’ve won from UniqueBlogDesigns.com arrived yesterday.
It was shipped using UPS.

Thanks to Nate Whitehill!

And it was taxed by the Malaysian Custom.  I have to pay the sum of amount of RM99.70.  Different from Fedex eh?

But, anyway I was pleased with the iPod.  It was a great gadget.  I’m a Windows user, so I have to install the iTunes software into my laptop and register the iPod.  Unfortunately, I can’t sign up an iTunes account.  To sign up for an iTune account, we need to have a valid credit card, which I don’t have right now.  I’ve tried to use my debit card but it was rejected. It said, “Malaysian Store Did not Accept Debit Card” something like that.  I’m wondering if we can sign up using a Virtual Credit Card? I bady want to sign up for it to enjoy the benefits.  Hmm… I think I should get one Visa card with me.  I don’t want to take a credit card is because I afraid to over spend and can’t afford to pay it later on.

After having some fun time with this iPod, I was very likely to say, it can be use as a bloggers tools.
Why I say that?

First, iPod Touch was invented with the same platform of iPhone.  It have all iPhone features except for the SIM card slot, speaker, and a phone function such as making a phone calls or sms.

So, we can say that iPod Touch is the degraded iPhone.  We can install an iPhone applications into an iPod Touch. Meaning, we can install wordpress tools(I forget what it’s name, it is an iPhone application.) and do our blogging while on the go, anywhere, anytime as long as we have an internet access.

iPod Touch is using WiFi as it’s communication port.
The speed and the reception was impressive for a hand held device.
It was better than my Nokia N80.

To surf the internet, we can use the Safari Browser.  It shows the webpage as how the real browser in the computer reender it.  I’ve tried to check my email, logging into my blog and manage my blog using it.  It was quite good.  The screen is too small? Not a problems anymore. We can zoom up to as big as 1000% to view it.  But the bad side of this Safari browser inside iPod Touch, it cannot displays flash. And javascripts are reenders at a very slow performance.

If you’re in a big city where there are wide WiFi coverage, I bet setting up the email feature in the iPod is quite handy.  It will notify you if there’s a new email.  You can read, reply, and even view attachement such as a excel spreadsheet, power point, words document, .pdf files, etc.

Well, I don’t want to talk about it’s music ability as it was and it is an iPod which is invented mean for music  pleasure.  So, it will never disappointed you.  It shouldn’t.  :-)

Overall, I am very happy with this iPod touch…
It makes me want to buy an iPhone.
But there are no legal distributor yet in Malaysia to sell an iPhone.
What? Ebay?
Yeah, I know there are some people sells iPhone there.  But it seems like a smuggled phone to me.
Sorry if I was wrong, tell me.  I’m not sure either, really.  To buy directly from apple, it will cost me ±RM7000 plus, excluding the tax.  I think I better buy a laptop with that amount of money. 

So, what is a great tools for you (Besides pc and laptop.) to help you in your online activity?
I bet you have some gadget with you there, come on share it here…

 

p/s: I was too busy, I’ve make an offer in some place for you to guess post, but there’s none interested?
Hmm… People didn’t hunt for a one way linking anymore huh?
