5 uses of the iPod Touch
The iPod Touch is not only just a music player; it does more than that. It’s just that not many people have thought of how this device can be a useful gadget beyond the reason that it was created for. Read on and you will now see this gadget in a new light, besides bringing it to more places with you.
1. Portable storage device
The iPod Touch has quite a huge memory of at least 8GB. Higher versions come in 16Gb and 32GB. 8GB should be more than enough to store your important documents, files and even a number of movies. With this, you don’t have to lug around a portable external hard drive anymore.
2. Mobile portfolio
If you are a photographer, designer or maybe a writer, you can store your portfolio inside your iPod Touch. Imagine how convenient it is when in the middle of a conversation, someone mentions that he or she needs a designer or a photographer for an event. Voila, whip out your iPod and impress them right away.
3. Blogging on the spot
With wifi connection, anything is possible with the iPod Touch. Capture an image or a video, upload it to your blog right away and add a few words. Similarly, do this to your Facebook as well. If your Twitter is synced with your Facebook, it’s even better. Nail three birds with one stone!
4. Photography
It’s funny how most people never thought of their iPod Touch as a camera. They don’t realise that the image quality that they get out of this gadget is most often far better than what they get from their camera phones. With this, the images now serve as your photo collection, portfolio and blog content.
5. Use it as a phone
It is possible to use your iPod Touch as a phone. You need to install VoIP applications such as SIP-VoIP. If you opt to go without the installation of these applications, the least you could do is to make Skype calls, which is itself a cost-free method of communication. On top of the VoIP application, you also need to have a Touchmod mic which comes in the form of either a simple dongle or a headphone-and-mic combo. The iPhone headphones don’t work with the iPod Touch, so that’s why you need the Touchmod mic instead.
