Well I thought I had overcome my annoyance and fear of Apple, however, it was all reinstated 25 minutes ago when my iPod (during a routine software update) crashed and died a horrible death. I’ve had to reinstall iTunes on my PC, backup my playlists, restore my iPod to factory settings and then re-sync all my apps, music and notes.
Steve Jobs you’ve done it again!
It’s chilly in my house as we haven’t got around to turning the radiators back on and this unusual September chill has caught us by surprise.
Ever since I got my iPod touch I’ve used it to tweet, blog, chat and skype via wifi, but it’s just occurred to me that arctic explorers would have to use a classic iPod or other generic mp3 player as the iPod touch and iPhone use a heat sensitive touch screen. My fingers are fairly cold and it’s taking twice as long to write this blog post where as my HTC touch cruise uses pressure sensitive touch screen technology. It’s less responsive than the iPod but unlike the iPod, doesn’t require a certain degree of finger temperature to work!
I like both but if I’m stranded in an Icelandic area with not a soul in site (but there is wifi coverage) then my HTC is the only choice…
Could a snake use an iPhone?
