Apps Store, iPod Touch, Hating 3G, and Updates

Hello everyone, once again.  I am here to talk about my experience with the Apps store, maybe getting an iTouch, iPhone sucks, and a few updates.  Without any more little chit-chat, here it is.

As me hating went on during release day, I remembered that the apps store was released that day as well.  So for the fun of it, I downloaded iTunes 7.7.  Then went to the apps store.  I looked at some of the apps and thought… this was worth the price of a Touch (which will be talked about in the next paragraph of my blog).  So I thought “what the heck”, so I downloaded some apps.  I downloaded the staples, eBay, iTunes remote, Tap Tap Revenge, Twitterific, AIM, Pownce, and a few more.  After a while, I thought to myself again…why not download more apps?  They are small in size, and mostly free.  So I did.  Now here I am with 75 apps I cannot use.  Which brings me to why I need an iPod Touch.

Now, when the iPod touch was announced back in September, I was skeptical.  “Who in their right mind would get this?  The iPhone is about the same price, and you get a fucking phone!” It has been almost a year, and my thoughts have changed. Since I would rather get a Nokia from 5 years ago than get an iPhone3G (explained next paragraph), the iTouch is for me.  But there is one minor problem.  The price tag is…..too big.  I could get an 80GB Classic instead of an 8GB Touch.  Or get 2 iPhones for a 16GB Touch.  I am expecting a MAJOR price drop in the coming months.  If they do not give me a price drop, they should at lease give me more bang for my buck.  Maybe a Camera?  Or the ability to share music with my friends (no I do not want an app, I want native sharing from the iPod function). Well that is what I want out of the Touch. Now onto the stupid 3G.

iPhone3G… What can I say, besides why do I need it?? I can buy a perfectly good last generation iPhone and put 2.0 firmware on it.  I do not need 3G because I stay home most of the time (I know most of you reading this do too), plus my area does not get 3G.  You can check your coverage here.  Another reason iPhone3G sucks is AT&T.  I know what the commercials say it is America’s #1 network, more bars in more places, and more ridiculous claims. Just to note, when I was going to Yosemite this summer, we had 3 different cellular networks in our car, At&t, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless. As we were going to and from Yosemite, only 1 network stayed on its network the longest, and it was not At&t.  It was Verizon, so At&t, get your facts straight.  Apple, give your JesusPhone to Verizon next time.  Now onto updates.

Not much to say here.  I gave my 1500th update earlier today on twitter. Of course you can follow me here. Kwippy is going as strong as ever.  Follow me on Kwippy here.  I got all my links put together on my About Me page (Look up).  That is about it.  Have a great day all.
