Apple Ipod Touch has TV out capability

OK, while I was exploring the settings on my Apple Ipod Touch I saw a TV out function in the settings area. I wondered what this could be. So I checked out the internet and I guess there is a cable that allows you to connect the Ipod Touch to a TV and have it become a monitor. I found this video, and am considering buying the cable if it looks like it would be fun to have and use.

These kids are playing a video game and can see it on the big screen. Very fun!

I did see another application that allows you to watch TV on your Ipod touch. I will blog about that next time after I download it and check it out.

Apple Ipod application: Pocket MBA

I always wanted to pursue a higher degree after getting my 2 bachelor of science degrees in finance and marketing. The problem was lack of dedication and money to pay for tuition.

I know most people go back to get their degrees for career purposes, but for me it would be to better myself. Anyways, I was looking at apps and this came up as a free app. I don't think this would be an app I normally would search for and buy, but because it was free for a limited time, I wanted to explore it. The app is called Pocket MBA.

This is definitely a good app but definitely not a substitution for an MBA. I wish they made Apple Ipod Touches in my time (20 years ago) when I was going to college. This would have definitely been useful and helped me study more efficiently. Back then I would use index cards and create flash cards as study aids to prepare for exams. This program is pretty good.

However, it doesn't motivate me to go back to graduate school. LOL

Apple Ipod update

I use my Apple Ipod Touch everyday. Skype is one of my favorite programs to use on it. It allows me to make phone calls at any place I have a wifi connection. It does have the ability to send text messages too, but it looks pricey compared to other programs that are available out there.

Since purchasing my Ipod Touch a newer version has come out at a lower price point of $199. I guess I bought mine 3 months too early. I have no regrets though because it is a great gadget. I notice sorting through my Gmail emails is much easier and faster than online because of the way google has its application set up on the Ipod.

Anyways, I love my Apple Ipod Touch.
