In fact, I find it a little more than a coincidence that the word verification graphic that I see below almost spells "sissify." Yep.

Am currently playing with a new quad pro machine, which I'm liking a lot. Hence the added delay in switching over to the Mac side. Although every other week or so, I seriously contemplate it and put a MacBook Pro in an Apple shopping cart.<BR/><BR/>I've read though that you're pretty much limited to iTunes with the iPod. I wasn't aware that the organizer software wasn't included with it. Maybe I should just throw savings caution to the wind and go buy that MacBook Pro and the iPod Touch AND the Archos already. :) <BR/><BR/>Will try your suggestion and post at philmug.ph.

First ...Thanks for visiting.<BR/><BR/>I had that dilemma too. First thing you need to understand with the iPod Touch is that it does not have the organizer software that iPhone has. You'll need to buy the software bundle released in Jan 2008 through the iTunes music store. <BR/><BR/>I haven't tried Archos, but so far I am very happy with the Safari browser in my iPod Touch. I don't think no other browser right now beats it. (I've used Opera in a Sony Ericsson P800 and P910i, so I know the cramped feeling of helplessness in surfing with a smart phone).<BR/><BR/>If your computer is a Mac, then definitely get the iPod Touch or iPhone, because synching is easier, I would guess.

I want a portable device to use as a general organizer (I'm moving away from my smartphone), MP3 player, web browser, and digital photo storage/transfer. It's hard not to be tempted by the massive storage of the Archos, but then again, the iPod touch wins all the pretty points. Any thoughts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
