iPod touch experiments

After two days of trying I was finally able to download and sync my iPod touch with the new firmware update 2.0. The device changes are minimal but I have yet to explore them in full.

I downloaded six applications at first. A short line on each follows but all I can say is wow! especially the Facebook and twitter apps are just fantastic. I have tried various S60 applications before but none of these match up with the experience to be had on the iPod touch. I’m nearly tempted to get an iPhone if the phone has improved in version 2.0. I was less than impressed with 1.0.

Facebook: The application is good but could do more. i like the ability to see the high quality photos compared with a S60 or Blackberry size screen.
Hotels.com: Great, I can see this being really useful when on tour.
Light: Does what it says on the box. Make a light and use up all that battery power.
Twitterific: twitter on steroids. My new desktop application of choice for Twitter may be tweet deck but this is a great start on theiPhone.
French:
ShoZu: the best mobile application for social media comes to the iPhone. Great application from a company that knows what they are doing. i love it.
