Getting touchy
I got myself an iPod Touch, and I’m in love!
Now, some of you might remember that I’m not a huge fan of Apple Products, or better to say their users that far too often become Apple-Apostles, but even I have to admit that the new iPod is a masterpiece of usability and beauty (once you have unlocked it). Yes, that’s right, I had no other choice than to ask a friend of mine to unlock it, since it was impossible to do so on my Linux machine. Then I had to hack it to get it working with Linux, since the connector cable won’t work either. The only solution I have found so far involves jailbreaking, installing the SSH server and then use sshfs to mount the iPod’s Disk to my Linux box. It’s really a shame that Apple keeps ignoring the needs of so many of it’s customers! And why, oh why don’t they just put the VPN client and Mail client on the iPod…???
Enough of the rants, let’s get on with the good stuff: the browser, the Youtube app really kick ass and I’m happy that I can use some of my favorite webapps:
- Todoist: the best task tracker there is.
- Gmail: do I even have to tell you why?
- Facebook: Getting social on the way
- and being able to read the slides of my upcoming lections while not even getting up from bed is nice too
