New iPod Games

I cannot say for certain when I know I was bitten but I have the date on my receipts (eleven/15/06). I guess I was late to the ipod celebration but I've not missed a stage because I acquired concerned with "Buck," my ipod.

I've received three now, 1 just for films, and an additional for audio and a single for information and I am negotiating with a get in touch with in China for 5 far more.

ipod is the brain little one of Steven Careers, Apple guru and all all around genius. Much more than 22 million ipods ended up marketed to US grown ups, which quantities to about eleven% of the population (in accordance to the non-revenue Pew Net & American Daily life Challenge). I grew to become a fan and person and my addiction continues to grow more robust.

Now I shell out my days finding out all around new programs and my nights browsing for clearance income, closeouts, underground resources for savings on add-ons. For illustration, very last week I located a internet site that sells what they get in touch with an ipod Converter.

This unit makes it possible for for limitless downloads of videos and new music and games and software program and offers a lif etime membership in their download club. As a complete blown film nut this tiny few technologies is gobbling up my free time by the hour.

Speak around addiction, I was rummaging via some magazines in the basement of the library at midnight (do not inquire) and discovered this underground techie magazine. There was a tale all around an MP3 converter that took me a couple of minutes to understand was the ipod converter I heard close to final week.

The techie manual indicated this is much better than Blockbuster and NetFlicks all rolled into 1 really consumer pleasant palm-sized unit. I will reveal the hyperlink here anybody who is interested can study all close to it.

As I continue to discover close to all-issues-ipod I've just found around ipod hacks. This reference startled me at initial as it is not in my nature to ruin other's satisfaction in any way, specially when it arrives to a thing like PCs and iPods.

What I discovered is the expression hacks when it refers to ipod is one more method of declaring equipment, other than that the mod ification most probable will void your ipod's warrantee. In any circumstance the lists I located ended up practically nothing less than intriguing.

For illustration, in accordance to howstuffworks.com, the assortment of add-ons incorporates downloadable ipod games and applications that convert DVDs to ipod-pleasant video files. There are too apps that convert PDA files your PowerPoint presentations into files that work with your ipod-suitable.

The howstuffworks internet site too furnished a reference to a list of some latest apps:
"ipod hackers are publishing all types of applications that Change the manner an ipod works -- some of the computer software is free, and some of it is for acquire. Some at the moment accessible hacks let you:

Whilst I'm fascinated with the growth this gives I'm too cautious and protective of Buck to attempt nearly anything besides factory sealed merchandise from Apple. I can be affected individual right up until they ramp up to the accessory list I peeked at in an underground publication.

The forthcoming Apple list is robust and will blow absent the hacker's meager offerings. Meanwhile, I will stick to my motion picture and audio downloading which retains me relatively occupied and content.

Even so if you hear any buzz close to an vehicle-pilot for prolonged cross-region drives which is suitable with a 2006 STS, make sure you pass it on. I may possibly just let Buck give it a attempt.
