BUT, I guess they have their use, too. And there’s a market for iPhone or iPod Touch stands. Like for example, I wouldn’t mind having an iBend last three weeks ago when my laptop was in the Mac hospital. The iPod Touch was practically my connection to cyberspace! Email, surfing, watching videos, you name it. And I have to admit, if you use your iPhone or your iPod Touch heavily, you’d definitely want something to keep it propped up, instead of holding it with your hands for hours.

iBend was only available in boring black before, but now it’s available in cute designs. The iBend Artist Series has 12 new designs which are totally cute.

Price: $7.99 for a pair

If this doesn’t make you go “awwwwwwwww, cuuuuuuuuteeee!” then I don’t know what else would.

Seriously, I could just die from cuteness looking at it. Haha.

Exaggerations aside, this cute little kitty case is made of felt and lined with grey fleece to keep your iPhone and iPod Touch warm and protected.

The craftsmanship is amazing, I must say! The baby blue eyes are made of buttons and the stitchings on it just made it perfect. It even has a tiny little tail stitching at the back!

Augh. So cute!

Take the WildCharger for example. This technology (wire-free charging solution) has actually been around for around a year already. The problem before was, it was only compatible with the Motorola Razr V3.

But now, it can be used with a wide variety of phone models from all major manufacturers like Nokia.

And just recently, WildCharge has released WildCharge Skins for the iPhone and iPod Touch!

WildCharge Skins are durable, protective, form-fitting cases that when placed on the WildCharger Pad, transfer wire-free power from the Pad to the device inside the skin. The soft cases provide the same protection consumers already enjoy from traditional skins, but have the added value and convenience of enabling a wire-free charge. – WildCharge

With this tie up with Apple, I’m guessing wireless charging will be a little more mainstream now since practically everyone owns an iPhone or an iPod Touch.

So there are some people who are actually trying to convince me to jailbreak my iPod touch.

And most of them say that it’ll open my experience to all the “great” applications out there.

Which leaves me to ask? What kind of “great” applications are you guys talking about?

When you say “great”, do you mean free? Or can I get those “great” applications by actually paying for them?

I’m still needing a little bit more of convincing!

I’m sure there are a number of people out there who got an iPhone or an iPod Touch for Christmas.

I’m one of them, and I’ve been contemplating whether to jailbreak my iPod Touch.

For one thing I’m thinking of getting an Apple Care Package (ACP) for the iPod Touch. I’ve learned my lesson from my last iPod. A couple of days after my last iPod’s one-year warranty expired, my old iPod’s dock port broke. I took it to the center and they said that replacing it would cost almost the same price as buying a new iPod. So there. If I had bought Apple Care, I’m sure they would have replaced my iPod right then and there.

Anyway, back to the topic. To jailbreak or not to jailbreak.

I’ve read that Jailbreaking voids the warranty. And if I plan to get the ACP then Jail breaking is totally out of the question.

BUT THEN, I’ve read that you can just restore the iPod Touch to factory setting and it’s as good as a fresh iPod.

BUT THEN, I’ve also read that some Apple centers can actually detect what softwares you’ve installed and if they find out you’ve installed the Jail Break, well, then say good bye to your warranty. Hm, I wonder if that even holds any truth to it, haha.

I’m a Mac user, too, so I really don’t see the point of jailbreaking my iPod Touch since it works totally fine with my computer.

I don’t have plans of changing the application and interface skins of the iPod Touch and I absolutely have NO plans of developing an app for the iPod Touch or iPhone either.

So, that really leaves me to ask, why do I have to jail break my iPod Touch?

I would understand jailbreaking an iPhone though since jailbreaking will make the iPhone an open line phone, but with the iPod Touch…

Hmmm….

I’m sort of done with my Christmas celebration!

Here in the Philippines, we celebrate Christmas by going to a late evening Christmas mass and then having Noche Buena at the stroke of midnight. Then after Noche Buena, that’s when we start opening and exchanging gifts!

I’m pretty darn happy with my Christmas loot this year. And it’s because I’ve gotten what I wished for!

The boyfie gave me an iPod touch for Christmas!

AND, he got me the 32GB version! Wowowow

Wheeee

I’m currently updating the firmware to 2.2 at the moment so I’ll probably be writing a review like later, or tomorrow.

Anyway, I just want to know, did you get what you wished for this Christmas? Gadget-ally speaking?

The supposed iPod Nano is going to be a 2-inch square flash based ipod that can play videos and will retail for $299 for the 4G and $399 for the 8G. It’s also rumored the new Nanos will come in different colors (Thank God!)

It’s going to be basically a “phone-less iPhone”!
