Re: IPhone..Worth It?
I have the Ipod touch 2g. It can do all the same things the phone can, except make cellular calls (notice I didn't say phone calls, because it CAN make those using a wi-fi connection). It is like a tiny laptop computer. I have wifi at my house, at my buddies house and at school, the 3 places it ever goes so it's like an iphone to me. I never call anyone while in the car when I did own a phone, so it being useless in the car is irrelevant to me. It has an accelerometer that is very accurate that can be used as a leveler, as a dyno for a vehicle, really cool stuff. And it only is about 170 bucks, one time. The internet is free, but the calls, if you want to use that feature, will cost you a small amount. Its neat because I have an ebay app which lets me do anything ebay much easier than trying to use the website. I also have a weather channel app which shows a gorgeous moving radar which can be zoomed in to street level, I also have a free unlimited texting app that I can text anyone with a cell phone totally free and unlimited (and they can text me back too of course), a resistor color app, just set the colors of the bands of any resistor and it will tell you the ohm reading and tolerance of that resistor, a discover channel app which loads the guide and small snippits of each show in the discovery channel, a mapquest app which gets you maps just like the website does, pandora internet radio app which streams unlimited free music of your favorite genre or even specific artist, a web md app to help you with health issues, all totally and completely free. Oh yea, it also does youtube videos with sound and it's an Ipod, so it does music too.
I dont recommend the phone because of the cost of the contract. But the ipod touch, with wifi being free and everywhere these days, is a much better deal. The ipod touch 2g is also about 1/3 to 1/2 the weight and bulk of the iphone. But its the same screen size.
