So Saturday my friend Joe and I go to Costco's and he applies for an American Express card which he was approved for $2,000 and he got himself a new laptop and gave me his old one. Anyways when we were there I asked if he could put on the card the iPod Touch 16GB model that I really wanted and in return I'd pay him back for it. He said ya and so I get back to their place (since I'm visiting them right now until March 9th) and we both check it out and everything and I manage to get a few scores downloaded onto my laptop.
So I get the scores onto it and check it out and all I can say is DAAAAYMN, this thing rocks big time. The audio quality completely blows my Creative Zen out of the water. In fact it's so powerful I can't have the volume up all the way or it will be way too loud. I know that sounds crazy but it's true. I love how you can surf the internet with it and when you're listening to music you can view the cover flow by turning the iPod sideways.
Navigation for this iPod is very easy and it's just simply outstanding. I read a lot of people saying that they hate having to look at the mp3 player all the time when changing tracks or albums or whatever. I mean then why get it if you don't like it? That's what the whole touch-only interface is about. I personally don't mind looking at the iPod all the time when I want to change to a different album.
It's also cool to be able to go straight to YouTube and watch clips on there.
The only thing though when you're browsing the internet make sure you have the WIFI turned off when you're done or else it'll eat up your battery power with out hesitation.
Anyways enough of my ramblings, but I honestly would recommend this thing to anyone who was looking for a good iPod.
I know that Apple came out with a 32GB model but $500 was out of my price range and plus 16GB's is plenty for me since I'm only going to have a few selected complete scores onto it. I'm not going to have every single bit of my score collection onto it.
