As the proud winner of a new iTouch, I now get a glimpse into the world of iPhones. Until now I have been the kid with my nose pressed up against the glass. Ogling at all the fun things that iPhone users can do. Wondering how I will get my hands on one. Cursing the fact that Verizon does not have iPhones. Ranting and raving that when I upgraded my phone at the end of September, the Droid phones were not yet available or known about at Verizon stores. Fretting about the “Little Engine That Could Not” phone that I bought to replace my broken phone. Samsung Rogue, I’m sorry, you are no iPhone. I’ve seen an iPhone and you are no iPhone.
It would appear that a preteen and teen in my house have designs on my iTouch. I was about to download a piano playing app when my teen said she had already downloaded it. I wonder what else is on my iTouch?
I have not tried these apps, but wanted to pass them on to you.
