I’ve been spending more time in iTunes than on Firefox this morning, waiting for the update to be available. I just checked for updates for my iPod touch and low-and-behold the update is coming online soon as I type!
I’m guessing the goal was to have it online at 9am EST, but it usually takes a few minutes for these things to go live. Here’s to hoping the server doesn’t get bombed with download requests! Cheers!
I am in high anticipation for the release of Apple’s 2.0 firmware update for the iPod Touch! The AppStore is online on iTunes, and there are so many cool applications that I want to use and play with. TUAW.com is featuring the various cool apps on the store and giving little previews. So far the most interesting free applications have been the Remote, AIM, and Super Monkey Ball! What a perfect game for the iPod touch or iPhone! Great use of the accelerometer. It has already got great reviews on the AppStore as well.
So while everyone waits in line overnight outside of the Rogers stores waiting for the iPhone 3G, I’ll be anticipating the download of the update. I just can’t imagine spending so much money for a cell phone plan per month. A bit too rich for my blood despite how alluring the device.
Great news! I just got a free iPod Touch 8GB since a family member bought a brand new MacBook. This thing is beautiful! It wasn’t easy to get my hands on it since FedEx decided to be off their game. After sitting through a rainstorm, I finally got my package and then went home with my brand new iPod.
Not only is it my first iPod, it’s the break of my longtime motto that I’d never become part of the iPod crowd. But I can’t help it when they bring out a touchscreen iPod that basically doubles as a PDA! It’s thin, sleek, black, and shiny. I got my name engraved on the back, and I couldn’t figure out what to get engraved on the second line until I was waiting in the car for the heavy downpour to cease. The line every iPod Touch should get engraved on the second line: “Don’t touch me.”
I’ll take some photos of it tomorrow with my dSLR and we’ll see how those turn out.
