Love all it: the story, the writing, the characters, the length. It’s easy to read, very descriptive, and entertaining. I feel like I am right next to the people in the book watching the story unfold.

I bought this for my eleven year old granddaughter to play with while she spends time with me, but I find that it also keep me busy playing her games when she is not here.

I was not sure I wanted to spend this much on a MP3 player, but this is the coolest device I own. Nothing can “touch” this, except maybe the iPhone but it loses points because of AT&T and the steep plan prices. There are many places to get free wi-fi when you are out, and I find that I use the touch more for surfing, social networking, and e-mail than I do for music. If you don’t buy an iPod, you settled. The genius mixes are even cool. My recommendations are to get a case and screen protector immediately. The iPod touch is a fingerprint and scratch magnet. You want to protect your investment. I ordered the SwitchEasy Rebel case and it came with a screen protector.
All that said, there are some negatives. The first and most famous is that the stock Apple headphones are junk. To really appreciate the iPod and all it can do, make sure to buy some quality headphones that have the 3 button remote and microphone. Secondly, if you consider the bright display, wi-fi, and processor; it is understandable that the battery life is not great. Apple says 6 hours of video and 30 hours of music, but I multi task and jump back and forth all the time. The battery lasts me more like 5 hours. It does charge fast and you can get to 80% in two hours. Sometimes syncing is a pain, my library is larger than 32gb, so I have to manually add music and video, so that is more tedious. I did sync my Google calendar, and set up 2 different e-mail accounts. You can also add lyrics to your id3 tags via iTunes and they are viewable buy taping the album art while you are in the iPod function. It is a cool feature, but there is no easy way to populate all your songs, so it is now a huge task. Another issue to consider is that the screen resolution is good, so if your album art didn’t come from iTunes, it may look pixelated. I recommend you shoot for a minimum of 400 x 400.
The newest 32gb and 64gb models have a faster processor and more ram, and I notice that this is one fast device. I frequently b
Apple Pie For The
I’ve owned and used several Macs over the years and the Mini’s are possibly my favorite models. They are small, energy efficient and perfect for what I need to do: web maintenance, Microsoft Office docs and spreadsheets, some Adobe inDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator work and email and web browsing.
These new models with the firewire 800 make backups speedy and painless and the addition of 802.11n, the ability add up to 4GB of RAM, and outputs for TWO displays round out a perfect machine for me. After a few months I ended up getting a laptop because I was traveling for work so if anything ever happens this will be my backup, but in the meantime it’s hooked up to our TV for DVD’s, streaming Netflix & Hulu, and acting as a server for my wife and my iTunes libraries.

I purchased the Garmin Portable Friction Mount to hold my Garmin in place in my car since the suction cup device that came with my unit did not work in my car. The weighted friction mount device works very well.

Some say this cable is over priced. Maybe but remember you get a power adapter with the cable. This adapter is quite small, seems to shut off when not connected to an iPod, because there is no warmth that I can detect to it then. The cable is really nice to have. I can view on my TV HD movies and TV episodes from my iPod and they look great ! No compromise if you get high quality down loads. I can listen to music etc through my home stereo system all without changing the plugs. It charges the iPod and iPhone and with a doc holds them upright. I am happy with my purchase. I would buy one again. It would be nice if this was a thirty or forty dollar package but the components are high quality and look great too. The plugs fit right ( not too tight or too loose ). I have bought cheep cables that quit working soon after purchasing. I feel I have a quality product from a top shelf company. Period.

Totally different than what I normally read and I am very glad I did. Worth picking up for sure!
Apple Extra Rechargeable Battery
The main incentive I had was to use a foreign language dictionary on the iPod, instead of buying an electronic dictionary, and it has been well worth it. The foreign language apps work great, but I also enjoy using it for so many other things. It was so handy taking on a trip to another country rather than taking my laptop – kept track of trip expenses, kept a trip log, recorded tour guide talks, checked e-mail when wireless networks were accessible, listened to podcasts, played games.
And getting the iPod from Amazon.com was smooth as usual and the best price I could find.
Get a screen protector as soon as you can, if not when you buy it.
Apple iPhone 3G S
So I purchased this item and absolutely loved it when I went on my runs, BUT, I took a spin class today and spent my short breaks trying to get the calorie counter to start and had no luck. It is a great RUNNER watch. It is NOT so great for someone who Cross trains with other workouts that would like to see calories burned by simply monitoring our heart beat.
In Short, if all you do is run this is the watch for you. If you cross train I would go for the Garmin FR60 (which is my replacement for this one). First review, hope it helps.

I would not consider myself a big reader. Every once in a while I pick up a book, get about halfway through and lose interest. But this book is absolutely amazing! It’s incredibly engrossing. I couldn’t put it down from the minute I started. I even took it on the treadmill with me. I hate working out but I would get so into reading that my workout was a breeze. This book is an absolute page turner. I was almost waiting for the boring part where I would lose interest but it never happened. There was always the feeling of “what’s going to happen next?!” The only bad part is that it’s finished. I’m a finicky reader so it rarely happens- but I absolutely mourned the end of this book. I absolutely love Abileen and Minny and could read about their lives every day. I don’t want to give anything away because almost every page is more interesting and hinges on the next. So about the author I’ll say- Kathryn Stockett does a great job of capturing moods, personalities, and the racial and political climate of the era.
Absolute must read- I almost wish I had not read through it so fast. My advice is to savor it as much as possible!
