30 Days of Thanks – Day #21

November 21, 2012

Sometimes I complain about my iPhone (more so recently because it’s acting like a stupid piece of crap). Let’s face it, iPhones are cool because they’re iPhones, but the list of their downfalls is pretty extensive. With that being said, I am still thankful for it! In fact, I’m thankful for all of my iDevices.

Let’s start with said iPhone. It makes me feel like I could RULE TEH WERLD! I use it for texts, email, Twitter, audio books, music, *deep breath* boarding passes, store reward cards, alarm clocks, buying tickets, buying from Amazon, stalking friends with Find My Friends, *deep breath* general internet surfing, podcasts, fiction, TV remote, shopping lists, photos, and calendars. Don’t forget Instagram! Sometimes I use it as an actual phone, but those occasions are few and far between.

I also have a 160GB iPod Classic. It’s awesome for the car or gym. I’ve had it for over a year now, and there’s still 102 GB free on it. I really only made it through M while loading music before I got impatient. I’m trying to rectify that before my next trip.

Last but definitely not least is my iPad. This is the most pointless device I own, but it’s so much fun to toy around with. Mostly I use it for watching shows on Netflix and playing games. Sometimes I write on it. (WriteRoom is an awesome app and worth whatever sum of money I ended up paying for it.) It works great in the kitchen for recipes as well because it doesn’t get in the way like a laptop does. I also read on it occasionally as it syncs up with my Kindle. I’m really looking forward to having it on the trip as well.

I ? my iPod

February 27, 2008

I have just discovered a new love for my iPod. Sure, it’s an old, bulky, white, 20 gig (only) Gen 2. And so what iTunes doesn’t jive with my Vista PC? I have to CONTROL+OPEN APPLE+RESET it every time I turn it on with less than 3/4 charge. It doesn’t have an FM tuner like the Zune. It doesn’t sync to Windows Media Center like the Zune. Then again it doesn’t play videos anyway…

What has changed? you ask. I got an iPod adapter for my car. I plug it in and it says OK then displays the Audi symbol. I have my songs right at my fingertips… literally, because my steering wheel controls operate it. My iPod sits nicely in the glove box. No skipping CDs, no FM transmitter with fuzzy reception. It’s always fully charged when I get to the gym with no need to fiddle around resetting it.

I ♥ my iPod.
