Electronic Toys

Well everyone knows that I am a lover of gadgets ! So
I enjoy getting new toys and getting them all set up just right. A week or so ago my son decided to buy an iTouch and during his "selling job" to me to allow him to spend his savings he converted me as well.

My cell phone contract with AT & T was up so I went ahead and got an upgrade to an apple Iphone. To date I've been very pleased with it. I was worried about it playing nice with my windows pc but the installation of iTunes went smoothly.

So for the last week I've been busy finding out all the pro's and con's from my point of view. I know that a ton of blogs are out there describing the Iphone. But let's face it I'm really mostly interested in how the Iphone works for me.

The only thing that I really miss from my windows mobile phone to the apple Iphone is the loss of Hulu. I didn't realize that apple did not have a flash player available to the iPhone. It's true that a lot of video is available in iTunes so I can enjoy my Stargate and Fringe episodes but really miss my Hulu

Personally I have no problems using iTunes or the app store. All of the software that I rely on such as eWallet and iBirds was available in apple apps. My calandar and contacts smoothly transferred to my new phone via google web. It amazes me the amount of free apps that are available !

So with the success of Alex iTouch and my iPhone my older son got an iTouch for his birthday to replace his aging zine mp3 player. He had a fair number of songs that did not auto convert from mp3 to aac format but he's still pleads with his gift.
