Ipod Touch post

Okay, so I am posting this from my iPod Touch and I’m finding everything about this gadget is just great! I’m using the WordPress app and it is very intuitive, you just add your blogs and it downloads your feed, then you can add and edit posts from the app.

I really like the Touch, not only is it an mp3 player but it’s also a PDA, basically. All the apps out there for it make the iPhone a closer contender in my next choice for a phone. With the Verizon/Alltel merger on the horizon and the possibility that I will have to switch to AT&T I may be getting an iPhone in the future.

Anyway, I’m watching a movie so I should get back to it.

Fedex

Filed under: apple, fedex, interwebs, ipod, life — xcaper @ 9:47 am

I bit the bullet last weekend and bought an iPod Touch (refurb) from the Apple Store. Mrs Fireshaper wanted an MP3 player so I gave her my Nano and bought the Touch after much thinking and talking with other Touch users. The price was a major factor, being just $20 more than the 30GB Classic, and I don’t have anywhere close to 30GB of music, along with the fact that I wanted apps. But right now I’m dying of anticipation, I bought the iPod on Aug. 30 and it still hasn’t showed up. The FedEx tracking number says it should be here tomorrow but the information says it is still “In Transit” from Sacramento, CA to Reno, NV, and has been since Sept. 4.

I did some snooping around the interwebs and found out that FedEx doesn’t update their tracking numbers very often, why I don’t know. What I don’t understand is what happens when the package doesn’t show up and the last information they have on it is that it had just left its origin? How do they find the package then?

I guess I’m just paranoid. Others online say that FedEx 99% of the time delivers when they predict, but I’m pretty sure I’l be the exception to that rule. I just seem to have that kind of luck.
