and if so which one for christmas?

(it's either that or an awesome new jumbo fake christmas tree )

I LOVE my ipod!

tinaz said:

WHY? what sort do you have?

I use my ipod every night, but almost never listen to music.
I listen to books while I fall asleep

NDRU said:

that is a good idea where do you get books?

NDRU said:

Me too

Audiobooks have been my newly found addiction,,,,,esp the ones read by Joe Morton

I don't think there has been a day where I didn't play from Ipods since I started using 'em(Since 2 years) that means I've been playing the hell outta my Ipod for the past 730 days :glasses:

Audible.com is the best place

Harlepolis said:

awesome!

I couldn't live without my iPod.

i hear you can use an iTouch as a phone through its web capabilities

Cuddles said:

oh! tell me more? like with skype?

ZombieKitten said:

i think so, ask dan he would know.

maybe they have to add the mic part to it yet, i dont know as i have the first iTouch. if it doesnt have a mic that and a camera is expected to be out soon around christmas.

what i wish they would make is an iPhone in nano size or a iPod nano with web capabilities so i can use the iPod nano as a phone. I love its size and it has a video recording and voice recording capabilities.

if touch had mic and video I'd already have bought one

ZombieKitten said:

nano has mic and video and it kicks ass, and it has radio capabilities too, nice for me to listening to NPR.

nano is so inexpensive it makes no sense to not own it.

Harlepolis said:

I'm totally addicted now! It's as if I've regressed in age and need to be read to so I can fall asleep.

I don't know about an iphone but friends who have one love it. It's not worth the money for me, maybe if there is a model with a bigger storage it might be.

I have a 30GB ipod photo and use it most days. I had a 60GB ipod video which I absolutely loved until it fell out my pocket when running for the bus and now rattles when I shake it

Harlepolis said:

Also Amazon, but I get them from the library now.

NDRU said:

The thing is, had it not been for audiobooks, I probably wouldn't give alot of the "slow reads" the time of day.

NDRU said:

And for a while there was a place in town that rented them for $5. Buying them is really expensive! I suppose Aubdible has some deals, I think, if you subscribe.

NDRU said:

Audible is much like Itune, you download the audiobooks which is much MORE convenient to me and the discount rates for members are very accessible.

Amazon though wouldn't cooperate, since it doesn't offer its "downloading" serives to customers outside of US/Canada and I'm currently living in neither,,,,,which is a drag because Amazon has more stuff that I want than Audible.

Cuddles said:

but no internet and therefore no potential for skype

Harlepolis said:

oops I said Amazon, but I meant iTunes

I love my Touch. I read books on it (like a Kindle) more than anything, and I maxed out with my music (of course I bought it a few mo ago before the upgrade)

there is a Skype app, all you need is a headphone/mic set and you are good to go!

Imma bout to get a new phone. I thought about iPhone but I don't want to pay to upgrade. Amazon had a good deal on the Nokia 5800 today and I can trade in my Motorola for cash back! Nokia is working on their apps so I think I will have the best of both worlds

not without some type of remote connection to your home computer

Im old school and have the ipod shuffle...2nd generation i think...Its small, easy to use when i run, holds tons of songs and clips onto your clothes... Ive had the bigger ones with the video screen and all that and found it unnessary for what i need it for, plus it isnt as easy to work out with...My son used his iphone or whatever it is but he has to hold it or lay it down when he works out which is prob ok for him since hes into weight lifting...The bad thing about the new ipod shuffle they have out is you have to use the headphones that it comes with because the controls are on the headphone cord..

I'd get they iPod/iTouch... I'm in the same boat as vendetta, it appears I can't live without the damn thing.

I do a lot of recording, writing songs on mine. Got Skype account 2 months ago paying $2.95 a month for unlimited calls Canada/US. Here's the link for more info http://www.skype.com/getconnected/. Apples apps are amazing just amazing, anything you can think of or whatever suits your interest... they seem to have it.

Love listening to the different NPR stations too. They kicked homeboy Steve Cushing's "Blues Before Sunrise" off of Chicago NPR 91.5 and he ended up having go to some NPR college station located in the wilderness. I'm glad I can hear his show again.
