I just got a ipod touch - tips and trcks

Question

Hey,
I just got ipod touch I havent took it out the box yet but I wanted to know any tips and tricks I can use to help me get started. I wanted to know if I need the software update and I also have a ipod nano can I still use them both? or can I make my ipod touch my default ipod in my itunes? Thanks

Answer 1

If you get a new iPod Touch you will get the updated software andyway and, believe me, it is worth it. While you won't have continuous connections to the Internet, many hot spots are out there so you can check e-mail, YouTube, etc as well as surf the net in those places where hot spots are. In addition, the iCal function works great and the Map program is fantastic.
What has happened is that the iTouch is becoming a useful PDA as well as having the great music function. I don't know if you "need" these but I find that the programs make the iTouch a much much more useful device for what I do.
Regrarding "default" status: When you connect your iTouch to your Mac, iTunes will recognize it as a separate iPod and you can set up the syncing, etc just for it. When you connect your other iPod(s) iTunes recognizes those as separate devices for syncing, etc. I have a Nano and an iTouch and that is the way it works so you don't have to worry about a "default" set up.
