So I recently used a $200 gift card that was given to me as a bonus at work. At the time the new iPhone was just released but I had just signed another two years with t-mobile. So I waited to see if maybe the iPod touch went down in price. Which of did… and I went out and got one.
Once home I was like a kid with a new toy (which I was), it was all oohs and ahhs. I also made sure to install the wordpress app (thumbs up) as well as a few other apps… yay!!
I even ponied up 10 bucks for a game.
I took it into my car and realized I have to slide to unlock while driving if I want to change the song. I got out of my car and put the iPod into my pocket. I realized then I had too much shit in my pockets. I already own a smart phone so I now have two clunky radioactive operating systems in my pants at most any time of the day. Not only that… the phone is microsoft and the iPod is by apple so they are no doubt zapping high frequency sound waves at each and zapping my bonch in the meantime since I am forced to keep them in their own pockets.
Then it hit me! This iPod touch is fuckin retarded. It really requires slot of attention. And how much better would my life be if I didn’t have to carry around what is essentially “almost” an iPhone. I pretty much look at it like one would a child who had a chance to get a million dollars and then blew it only to get another chance and blow that one too. Shaking my head side to side I think to myself “why can’t you be a phone?”
It isn’t so much that I’m a broke ass as much as I just really don’t want to switch over to AT&T. As much as I hate t-mobile I can’t leave them for worse service. And I am too sketchy to hack into the phone or any of that crazyness.
I could just be bitter, who knows. I won’t lie the iPod touch is pretty cool. I mean I’m writing this from my couch watching how it’s made. I just hate having two bulky phone shaped objects on me at all times knowing that it could be one bulky phone shaped object.
