I decided to enter the 21st century. With a new Ipod Touch.

^^ Word..if you even need to...you CAN make it into a phone...I use my 16gb Itouch for music mainly...great to take with you if you go into some place that you know will have free Wi-Fi...didn't get the iPhone cause I already had a phone...with a very inexpensive bill...which already has the Unlimited Data plan...so for now it all works out...

[Thunder Dan]

Pretty sweet little toy. Managed to fit about half my music on it. Got some nice little features.

I got bejeweled 2, Civilization, Some motorbike game, Need for Speed and Mahjong. Must have games? Most of those apps look totally worthless so I'll probably stick to games unless someone has something worth a .

So give me your recommendations. I need something that'll kill serious amounts of time at work.

download Scramble. Its a word game that is really addicting.

How much was it? How much is your bill a month?

Jailbreaking your itouch open to so many possibilities. I can't list them all but you can customize your itouch with custom backgrounds, install all kinds of apps that are not available on the apple/itunes store. You can put installous on there so that you can "try before you buy" any app that is in the itunes store. As someone has mentioned you can turn it into a wifi phone by installing Skype,(you will need a third party mic if i recall unless new version has added one) or Fring.(no need to jailbreak to do that)

Jailbreaking it is very simple to do, what you need to do it depends on which version of firmware you are currently running. You can view that in your settings tab. Takes about 10 minutes to jailbreak it. From beginning to end.

There is no monthly bill for an itouch. Its not a phone. Just a very much enhanced version of an ipod, its like the iphone without the phone.

Jailbreaking sounds illegal. Like rape. I like rape.

Scrabble sounds kinda fun.

Aha, I see.

Can you add a phone app to it?

I am way behind the times.

Joe, please don't tell me you still use a cassette walkman!

[JoeChalupa]

Joe, please don't tell me you still use a cassette walkman!

Nah, but I still have a big box of cassette tapes.

[Evil Angel]

And ST has an option for iPhone/iPod too that works well.

[J.T.]

I've had it with all these ipod owning richers on spurstalk. Go back to the dominion and your nine dollar iced teas.

[Heath Ledger]

Yes you can put a phone app on it. VOIP phone apps such as skype or fring work great over wifi on the ITOUCH.

iheartradio is pretty awesome. Finally I can listen to KTKR from Corpus without a ty signal.

Get a car adapter so you never have to fumble with and scratch ing CDs again.

My recommended programs:

Pandora - Free music over wifi

Shazam - Hear a song and want to know who it's by? Shazam will tell you.

The Word - New program. Allows you to watch "The Word" segments from Steven Colbert on your iPhone or iPod Touch. Pretty awesome.

Yelp! - My favorite of the "rater" apps, this compiles all the restaurants around you into a ratings database. I prefer it to urbanspoon and the others.

Accuweather - Fantastic weather app, by far the most useful I've had.

Games:

Canabalt - Words cannot express how insanely awesome this game is. Super-super-super recommended.

Doodle-Jump - Sounds and looks dumb the first time you play it.... and then you get hooked trying to get higher just "one more time". Similar to Canabalt's style of play.

Baseball Superstars 09 - Not a realistic baseball game, but it's a blast to play! You upgrade your created player with custom gear. "My league" is a blast, you can play a season in a relatively short amount of time.

Galcon - If you like fast-paced strategy, you can seriously put some time into this game.

Civilization Revolution - Probably the best turn-based strategy game in the app store.

YOU MUST MUST MUST JAILBREAK YOUR IPOD. Seriously, it makes it SO much more fun to use.

More as I think of them. I just re-formatted my iPhone for the new jailbreak.

I can't stop playing this

Umm, you don't have a cell phone?

[PakiDan]

How much space are there on the phones? I really didn't want the phone. I don't like people calling me.

Mine is 16 gig

[BacktoBasics]

Umm, you don't have a cell phone?

I do not want people calling me.

[PM5K]

So you don't have a cell phone?

[BacktoBasics]

I don't

I don't know if you like baseball or not but the MLB.Com app during baseball season allows you to watch live games streamed onto the phone or iTouch.

My iPhone is the 32GB and i've got all my music about 5 pages of apps on it.

Best purchase I've ever made. I'm practically addicted to the damn thing.

[J.T.]

So you don't have a cell phone

or a vehicle?
