StaceyinLA Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Apple makes a superior products, the app options are UNREAL, the customer service from Apple is fantastic, their warranty is great, and the iPod touch and phone are just awesome!

Amy1k Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I love my iPod Touch so much. The only thing better would be an iPhone...but it's not supported by my cell carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy in Ky Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 My iPod Touch is amazing. It is the coolest little thing--so incredibly useful and fun. You'll love it. I promise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyK Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I've just been loading stuff on an IPod Touch and it is amazing. I've got educational stuff, books on tape, fun and educational apps, and stuff for me all on one device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thanks, everyone. I was actually leaning toward the Zune, but now I'm going to seriously rethink that. Maybe I'll visit an Apple store and check out the iPod Touch in person. You'll love it. I promise. The only sad part, Tracy, is that it's not for me. I'd like to give one to my son for Christmas.

kat19 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I am thinking of getting myself one(Ipod Touch) for Christmas :D My sisters each have one and love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) iPod touch. There are so many cool apps, it's easy to use, well designed. The Apple store may not know about many of the education ones, search here and you'll find a bunch that people have recommended--most of the ones I like, education wise, are too young for your children, but there are others out there for older children and also some flashcard ones for any age. I personally would make it part of the deal that he had to share it with his brother for educational use when you ask him to.

Crissy Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 iPod touch. There are so many cool apps, it's easy to use, well designed. I really like the idea that he can use the apps and gather all his organizational tools in one pretty little package. Anyone know if there is a place to browse the App Store without a device?

JFSinIL Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I Pod - hubby as a Zune and detests it. Mostly the software to get things on the Zune drives him nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan in SC Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I think you can go to Apple's website and see the apps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Zune as well, but I rarely use it. Having to use the Zune software frustrates me terribly, and I'm usually rather competent when it comes to these things. I was starting to feel old and out of touch. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'm not familiar with the other product, but I can tell you I have been absolutely thrilled with my iPod Touch. It is so much fun! Great apps, a breeze to use, nice features, just fun, fun, fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have a Zune (not HD), I think the software has updated recently and is significantly better ... there could be more improvements, though. I wish I could just drop and drag like I can other windows files .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could just drop and drag like I can other windows files .... You know what I really wish they had? A better ebook program. Downloading the text file, converting all the pages to jpegs, then filing them on the Zune as images is a Huge pain in the bohunkus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She especially likes Spore, iFlashmath, Utalk Latin, lots of hidden object games, Stanza, Fling, Finger Physics, Aces Nintaii, Bugg Out, dictionary.com. Bookworm is on her wishlist.

Wow ... you're a trooper. I'd never even thought about trying something like that ... I pretty much use it just for music/sermons/Mars Hill Audio/CiRCE talks.

Josephine Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Just wondering if anyone had any new thoughts on these. Please note that I am considering the Zune HD which only came out last fall. I found a deal on Zune HD for today only. So if you have an opinion please let me know. From what I have seen so far Zune is more of a media player that does wi-fi w/ only a few apps and I-touch is more games and apps that also does media. What do you guys think? http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?sku=A3556910&cs=19&c=us&l=en&dgc=CJ&cid=24471&lid=566643&acd=10550055-552179-S60SHwoBCjYAADjRszUAAADa Josephine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crissy Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 I ended up buying an iPod Touch for my son, and I liked what I saw so much that I bought one for myself as well. I don't listen to a lot of music, but I love having access to my Google Calendar, carrying a bundle of educational apps for my younger son and keeping my To-Do and shopping lists in my pocket. My favorite feature by far is the Kindle software for the iPod. I read in that fabulous little device every day. I love that it is smaller and lighter than a Nook or a Kindle. As I was donating blood this morning, I was able to read and turn pages with one hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josephine Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Thanks for the input. Well, I didn't buy the Zune so I think I am going to get the Touch. My dh and I have a trip coming up at the end of April and I hate waiting in airports so I thought a media player would be nice.

elegantlion Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I had a Zune last Christmas (not the HD). I returned it because the software was way inferior to iTunes. I really liked the Zune itself though. :iagree: Glad to hear you made the decision. We are fans of Microsoft products in general, but we had fits with the Zune software. Returned it, got the I-pod nano and ds is quite happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
