IPOD!

As I mentioned in my last post, I bought a new IPOD. I'm really excited about it and wanted to share about it. It has a few nice touches that my old one didn't such as: speakers (not just headphones) Bigger screen Also, it has lots of cool features and applications. Let me name some that make me really happy: I can watch movies and TV shows. I can surf the internet. I can text for free (not that I text that often but still...for FRREEE!!) I can access Itunes and buy stuff I can play all kinds of games (so much better than just solitaire) It has a cool map thing that locates where I am I can read classic books (Huck Finn, Count of Monte Cristo, etc.) for free I have the scriptures, general conference talks, gospel principles, Preach My Gospel and many more church materials So, I bought a decent priced Ipod and got a movie player/TV/Wifi/book collection.Ensign/scripture set/ GPS. And all in one tiny box. AMAZING.
