Skype on the Apple Ipod Touch

I have had the skype program on my computer for a few years. I didn't use it in a while because I have a voip business phone and the sound quality on that was much better.
When I started checking out the apps, I realized that the Ipod Touch 2nd generation had a mic application built in unlike the previous version. So I thought I would give it a try.
I ordered some eom headset with built in mics from Ebay. Of course, they were sent out from Hong Kong. I received them today, and plugged them in and nothing.
I talked and left voicemail messages and was disappointed. I started reading the forums to see if there were mods or apps I needed to install to get the mic to work. My wife asked me what I was doing and I explained it to her. She asked if I had the volume on? DOHHHHHH
I tried the skype program again with the volume up and viola, it worked. I love being married to someone smarter than me. LOL.

Basic web surfing capabilities

I am still very happy with my purchase on this Apple Ipod Touch. The basic apps that come with it are very useful.




The main apps that are probably often used are YouTube, Maps, Mail and Weather. I have used those applications everyday so far. Yeah I know less than 3 days only, but still I am not bored with it.

I did download some free apps. They are actually games and my wife chose them. They are fun and I will talk more about them in later posts. Anyways, have a great weekend. Cheers!

Excellent Apple Ipod Touch commercial

This Apple Ipod Touch commercial made me want to get one.



I haven't done everything this commercial does, but I have done quite alot in the time that I have owned it. This Apple Ipod touch is literally a computer and can do most things a laptop can do.
