We are in Chicago so Cindy can attend a conference for her job. I was able come along because airfare was over 1K and it was significantly less expensive to drive even with gas prices. Now, I have several days to explore the city and work in Borders.
I walked down State Street to the Apple store this morning because I needed a new battery for my laptop. There was a long line awaiting the opening of the store. Evidently, iPhones are still in big demand.
I am a fan of the iPod. I might be a fan of the iPhone if we had access in North Dakota. To repeat my complaint – “iPhone – available in 70 countries, but not North Dakota”.
I have upgraded the software on my iPod Touch to take advantage of apps (promoted for the iPhone, but also functional on the Touch).
Here are my recommendations:
- Evernote – a complete solution for storing information (I have the paid version), but experiment with the free version.
- Google Apps – Google tools for your iPod – access Google notes and Google Apps – hard to add text, but good to access.
- Last.fm – the music social networking site I like.
- NY Times – the paper on your pod
- Twitterrific – just in case I have something to say that can be said in 140 characters.
