Got my FiRST iPod for Christmas! What do I need to know before reading instructions?

[Whoa_Nelly]

Will this change my life?

[ogneopasno]

1. After using it for a day, you'll wish it had a phone in it. I did.

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. why is that?

I barely use my cell phone...

[ogneopasno]

3. Oh -- in that case, you won't wish for that. I did because I do use my cell phone a lot,

and got bored of keeping track of two things instead of one.

4. How about the internet, you use that, right? And google maps, and more!

Google directions, Google map street view, which is awesome if not useful.

I love being somewhere and I want to find, say, a donut shop, and I go to the map and search for "donut", the map then shows where I am and pins any donut shop, click on the icon and you can call the place!

:donut:

And yesterday I used it to log in and reply on DU!!!

And all the other apps you can download.

But the iPod is very cool, too. I've got tons of Sopranos episodes and movies, in case I'm ever stuck in an airport or something, and have a cable that will play them to a TV, which the iPhone WONT do, damn them!

:hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

5. OK this is going to change my life

wow! so many apps!

Am amazed!

thanks! :hi:

[NYC_SKP]

6. Careful now, I was describing the iPhone, not iPod, but...

you might see what aps the new iPods have, they might have some of what I described.

I'd love to hear how it goes, feel free to PM me after you've played with it or if you've got more questions.

NYC_SKP :hi:

[Whoa_Nelly]

7. It's a nano pod

son will show me everything tomorrow

[rcrush]

8. Nano isnt as cool as the Ipod Touch

But they make the new nanos with video now and an accelerometer now. They are pretty cool.

[Whoa_Nelly]

9. Son has the iPod Touch

it IS cool!

Can't afford one for myself yet.
Am hoping to get one of these instead after first of year


Honda FIT

[rcrush]

10. I bought myself this for Christmas two weeks ago.

[quakerboy]

11. Do not fold it

Not recomended in any way.

[Whoa_Nelly]

14. or spindle or mutilate?

can i touch it...? :scared:

[quakerboy]

15. Its not reccomended

But I suppose you may do so if you must.

[edbermac]

12. Got a Nano too! Charging it on my MAC now.

:woohoo:

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. Am charging, too!

:woohoo: indeed! :bounce:

[BensMom]

16. SLEEK!

But doesn't go through the washing machine...

[Blue Gardener]

17. Don't accidently set it to the wrong language

Because then you can't figure out how to set it to English. Someone I know did that (that would be me). :dunce:

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. arrr!

already accidentally set it to Talk Like A Pirate language!


(ok...really did accidentally set it to UK English.
Now need Billyskank here to interpert for me :eyes: )

....am sure my son can reset it for me...he's good at this type of thing.

[Blue Gardener]

20. I had mine set to (I think) Dutch

Or something similar. Thankfully I found someone smarter than me to fix it.

[tigereye]

19. my son hasn't put his down....he got the Ipod touch

I guess he will emerge at some point.... :shrug: My h has an Iphone and it's amazing.

[applegrove]

21. Don't leave it lying around when the guys arrive to replace the windows in your house.

Ipods have a way of disappearing under such circumstances. I cannot believe the nerve of that guy. I was out of town so when I noticed it had been lifted it was months after the fact. Too late to do or say anything.

[SPKrazy]

22. you don't need no stinkin directions

just charge it up and download songs

:D

:hi:

have fun, your life will be more musical maybe?

[BulletproofLandshark]

23. Apple absolutely screws its' customers on batteries.
