It wasn’t so long ago…that Apple was a dirty word for me. It still is in some respects but I’m not going to bitch about their operating systems to day. What I want to talk about is their hand held devices.

I had a creative MP3 player for a while. It was big and bulky and heavy but it worked rather well. Their PC software blew goats though but with a bit of reasearch and plenty of assistance from geeks, I was happy.

Then it started to play up, I got showed an ipod and and lusted after one. I got an ipod classic video. Great device, still got it too and perfectly happy with it. But then the marketing men got to me and they told me I needed an itouch. Some crazy working hours later and with a pay packet close to the national gross of some small African countries and one was in my hand.

Wow! Just holding it is nice. Beautifully made. Really, like it was made by Germans or something. So slim and sleek, well put together. Turn it on and it wasnt to talk back to mother but once I’d done that…. amazing. The front end is fantastic. Proper touch screen drifting and clicking, works great. The wealth of free and pay for applications online is astounding and it fits into itunes effortlessly. The screen quality is incredible, way better than my classic.

Love it, in case you hadn’t realised. Get one.

Just got my email working now, superb.  And browsing the internet, wow, the zoom and navigation is great, you can easily ‘do’ the internet on it. The screen keyboard works well and it just drifts between sites as you select wonderfully.

If you’re going to get a product made by apple then their small devices are the only way to go and this one is the thing you need to get.
