Hi Isaac,
Sure first, the Sprint overdrive is about 60 per month. That's pretty
reasonable especially if you're in a 4G enabled city. The plan has unlimited
4G service so no cap, 3G is capped at 5GB per month.
I commute over an hour each way every day so to me this is valuable time. If
you don't travel much and already have broadband you might not be able to
justify the cost. I really like the device though and get a lot of milage out
of it.
As for the IPod, I love the interface. The touch screen is very intuitive to
use once you get the hang of it. Tracking of the movements is very good and it
is easy to use one handed unlike many phones.
With apps like live365, iI-Heart-Radio and many others you can stream
all the audio you want in clean stereo audio instead of over the air. I also
find I listen to a lot of content not available on the air either because it's
treamed only or because it's outside the local area. The only thing I've used
my standard radio for recently is listening to John Miller on the Giants radio
network.:) My understanding is I can get an MLB app and get the same audio, I
assume there's a fee for that. I have not tried this personally but plan on it
next year.
Things like the web browser are pretty good and most apps are accessible.
How's that?
