I've got the touch, I've got the power!

Yes, that's the song by Stan Bush from the old Transformers movie. Anyway, I got my iPod Touch a couple of Friday's ago. I actually left work at noon to get the Apple store when I found it they had it in stock.

I've been yearning for a new iPod for over a year and Apple finally delivered. This thing is freaking awesome. Luckily I don't have the crappy screen issue everyone keeps bitching about. The most surprising thing is that Safari looks great despite that relatively small screen. I'm checking WSJ, Woot and playing Bejeweled when I'm bored. I've also whipped up a page to get stock quotes with AJAX refreshes.

Speaking of stock quotes, I'm pretty pissed that Apple took that out of the Touch. Hopefully the hackers figure out a way to get the missing stuff back on there. Another annoyance is the headphone jack on the bottom. Not cool. The touch comes with a little iPod stand but then you can't plug your headphones in if you place the Touch on the stand vertically. That's just stupid.

Anyway, those are my main gripes. It's not perfect but it'll do.
