[Closed] What can you do with an ipod touch?

Reply to threads on singletrack when I can't be assed to boot the laptop up 🙂

I literally use my iPod Touch to download music from itunes and then play that music into my ears via some earphones.

I realise I'm not using it to it's full potential but that's all I wanted it for.

I struggle with the typing using my sausage like fingers so a large keyboard helps.

Play Frisbee and Temple Run, surf the web, watch films, sort out emails, use it for BBC iPlayer and LinkedIn... Loads of stuff, really...

Literally?

😉

I wanted the Touch to download music and then bluetooth to my Bose speaker and know that it can do so much more.

Julian A where do you get your films from?

my wife uses hers for music, movies, email, surfing.
it can do facetime if in a wifi zone too, its actually a brilliant device.

@bedwasboy: Rip all your DVDs onto a computer using DVDDecrypter (free), convert them using DVDVideoSoft's (free) video to iPod converter, import them into iTunes, load them onto the iPod and then either watch them on it or play them on the TV using an iPod to HDMI converter (not free - £35). Works really well - take your films anywhere - especially abroad when you're going somewhere where you don't speak the language well enough to make the local TV fully watchable.

Angry Birds!!

The Touch is a little restricted in some respects compared to the iPhone, in that it doesn't have built in GPS, so using something like Viewranger lacks accuracy because it can only use cell tower and wifi triangulation.
It does, however, make a damned good pocket ebook reader, installing apps like Redlaser, Quickmark, Qrafter or QRReader mean you can scan product barcodes and find better prices online, there's Amazon, eBay, Facebook and Twitter apps, Flipboard is a really good magazine format app that consolidated lots of different feeds, and let's you add lots of your own to make a continually updated magazine.
I love Flipboard to bits, but it's a huge time sink!
There's all the different photo apps, like Instagram, Autostitch, Photobucket, ProHDR, Filterstorm, iPhoto...
There are reference books, like BirdGuide, OrchidId, Wikipanion, weather apps like WeatherPro, which is brilliant.
Then there are all the games...
There are many things musical you can do with it, like GarageBand, and a number of synth and sequencer apps, too.
It's only your imagination that restricts what you can do with it.

I imagined it not running out of memory space....

Still full.

julianA lots to do around movies,always looking for ways of passing time when travelling,
countzero just about to google some of the suggestions you make,

thanks

Oh yeah, forgot about reading books (including making your own), Fleurs en Poche (sadly, there doesn't seem to be a really good pan-European wild flower app (yet - I'm badgering someone for one)), Dragonflies and British Moths - also from WildGuides), Trees of Britain, National Trust app, English Heritage app, Heritage app, Booking.com, TripAdvisor, Gites de france, AA B & B app, Google Earth, YouTube...

And Word Feud

Oh yeah, there's Sky+, which lets you remote record your Sky box, IMDb, VEVO, Vimeo, Flixter, Orange Wednesday, (you need an Orange mobile number to tap in, after that you get the full benefit. I had an Orange PAYG several years ago and used that number on my O2 iPhone. Still works).

Its quite handy for checking the headtube angles on your new forks 😀

Check what's happening on this thread... No, I really haven't anthing much better to do until I get my wife and my iPad back... Here they come now. Excellent, here they are! Byee... Ohhhhhh...

Does it blend?
