Shiny is good!

This blog entry has been written from my new iTouch!

It is pretty awesome but converting video for it takes forever…

Aside from that, it's pretty sweet. One of the main reasons I bought it was for reading ebooks - something I do quite often on my laptop. Typing on the little keyboard takes a little getting used to but after a while it's easy to pick up speed.

Another reason I bought it was so I could work on games for the iPhone because I think it is an interesting platform to explore. The touchscreen makes for an interesting control setup which forces you to break away from current standards, but it is perfect for gesture oriented games especially RTS games.

Anyway I have to pack for the plane so goodbye for now!

As far as I know the SDK only runs on OS X. If it weren't for that I would have attempted to program for it a long time ago.

the iTouch looks like a cool guy, there could be good things made for it.

iTouch seems like a good platform for making some cash. Though fucking apple and their OS X only dev kit.

The touch is also pretty pricey.

Don't even talk to me about my still inexistent Pandora. Should have spent the money on an iTouch…

The iTouch looks nice. Half the time I see them, I think "You show-off…" cause the whip it out and start flinging their fingers around on it doing all kinds of crazy shit.

I've wanted that thing, but it's a bit over my budget.

I remember when I was laughing at Apple for not having a gaming system.

What's next, the iBox? :D
