I ordered this after watching my husband having fun with his Zune HD, I had to get me one, however, being I already have an 80g classic and 16g nano iPod, I thought I would stick with Apple and get the Touch. Suffice it to say, now the hubby wants an iPod touch. It is a great pocket computer. It does live up to expectations that Apple has touted. I am mainly a music junky that totally loves the iPod music setup, but I have quickly come over to the App side. Apple has almost what seems an infinite amount of apps to choose from…you think of it?, someone probably has come up with it. It shares a lot of the same features that the iPhone does …(of course) it’s not a phone. It is wifi geared, if wifi is not available or is security locked, you can’t access any of the apps..specifically those that are tied into the web. Granted there are apps you can use, in which you have at your fingertips….games to play, music to listen to, movies/videos to watch that you don’t need wifi access. The first accessories I bought for the touch was a protective case and screen protector, very good investment!! The case allows me to stand it on it’s side to watch movies, and is made so it’s doesn’t slide around. The screen protector is like having a matted glass over a picture, and helps keep the annoying fingerprints from being so annoying.

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 …I’m assuming you know what this book is about, and if you don’t, there are a few thousand other reviews on this site alone to tell you. Here’s a little persuasion to give the book a try;
It’s a good book. Hate me for this if you want, but no, it’s not really life-changing. It’s not the worst book ever written, either. Yeah, it’s this huge phenomenon, but I like it as…a good book. Yep, it’s unrealistic (it’s about VAMPIRES! Of COURSE it’s unrealistic!) but as far as the romance goes, isn’t it better to be unrealistic in a pretty, romantic way instead of the usual, you can do drugs, sex and smoking every freaking night without any side-effects unrealistic. Please, this is a fantasy book, it’s supposed to be escape from real life.
And it’s a good escape. Though VERY long, it’s also VERY readable, with good, engrossing writing, likable if not always extrodinary characters, and a simple, but well executed, plot. Bella can be an annoying narrator, because her narration includes all those unspoken uncertanties and doubts that we all have.
Anyway, I liked this book, I’ll probably re-read it, and the movie’s okay too. Food for thought; how many people who say they hate Twilight own the whole series? How many own the whole series in hardback?
PS Parents will want to know, this is a very conservative book compared to most YA romances. No sex. Very little violence. The book’s suspenceful, not scary.
