Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
Hmmm, so you're saying the iPod Touch is better than the Nano 6th gen? I don't do anything with iPods other than listen to music and books. I like the 5th gen because of the built in speaker. It's awesome for reading in bed. Not sure if the 6th gen has it. You have to pay for something to use the Touch? I've never been clear on how that accesses the internet, or why I'd want it when I have a laptop. I do some commuting though. What do you have to buy to use the internet on it when you're on the bus? Hmmm now I've opened a can of worms when I was just curious about the 6th gen haha!! Maybe I should get a touch since I can't get an iPhone since I won't switch cell providers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
Hi, I haven't used a braille display so maybe someone who has can speak up. I do think it would be useful though. Most of the apps aren't even music related or sound related at all. There are all sorts of tools that you can use online ranging from simply checking the weather or stocks on up to the full web browser or restaurant finders and everything inbetween. Even OCR software although I personally have not used this. All the built in features are accessible unlike windows mobile devices. Even the camera is useful. Apple has done a very good job with the product. On Oct 22, 2010, at 10:12 PM, Isaac Obie wrote: > Scott > That is excellent! thank you for that.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
Scott That is excellent! thank you for that. I am thinking of doing the ipod touch after I learn itunes. I'd like something portable and something that I can do with a braille display since I am hard of hearing. I doubt the ipod'd have the power to be loud enough for my needs. I know very little about gestures. What's your take on this? Will the ipod touch be useful to me? I have a 12 cell braille display. Thanks.

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.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
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.

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
Scott can you elaborate on how it makes a great internet platform and why you haven't used your radio since? And that sprint overdrive must cost a fortune a month!

Re: Anyone try the iPod 6th gen?
I checked it out in the store and thought it was super cool. Am sort of tempted to buy one, but can't really justify it yet. Sure the IPhone can do everything the nano can and more, but for just using the nano for things you would not have to worry about breaking anything. You virtually would nto have to be concerned about doing anything to the nano. It would fit in anything too. Unfortunate it can't network stream things or do anything with bluetooth either.
