Remember what happened to my Ipod screen? Well, the feedback came in and an Ipod Touch it is.

Thanks to Wanida, I got it from Apple and saved some money and I’ve been playing around with it for today and here’s what I really like:

• The screen - Wow. 3.5 inches makes a huge difference over 2.5 inches. Utterly amazing to watch videos on this thing. My flight to Canada is going to be so much more enjoyable now!
• Photos - The capability to zoom in on your photos and move them around and everything is just phenomenal. Such a great way to show photos to friends and family!
• Wifi - I tested the Wifi at home and it’s great. The way I can zoom in on certain parts of the webpage and them navigate around is really amazing. If I’m at a Starbucks and have both my phone and Ipod Touch with me, I’ll use the Touch even though my phone gets wifi too.

Un-surprisingly, I’ve used the Touch for everything but music. I do think this is the ultimate in media portability. Music, videos, tv series, podcasts, video podcasts, pictures and the internet all on a neat (but expensive) device. Next best technological purchase next to my phone and mobile broadband modem.

Oh one thing though, I’m glad the Iphone wasn’t my eventual decision for the new gadget. I had to retype my username and password for Gmail four times because I couldn’t get the darn keys right!
