I like this from the specs page

Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F

Cool!

[Star Traveler]

I had to look at that one... I think they’re wording it wrong... :-)

It’s supposed to be “nonoperating” below -4° and above 113°...

You’ve found a mistake on their page... cool!

[Swordmaker]

More on the iPod touch... PING!

iPod touch Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Is there a 64G iPod touch yet? I’ve been waiting for one.

This has probably been answered already.... yes there is...

[Swordmaker]

Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F

Cool!

too cool and too hot!

>> Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F

> It’s supposed to be “nonoperating” below -4° and above 113°... You’ve found a mistake on their page... cool!

Nope. Devices have a limited "operating range" (low-to-high temps they can stand to run in), and a wider "non-operating range" (low-to-high temps they can stand WHEN NOT RUNNING).

For example, the non-op range applies when being shipped or stored, turned off or battery removed.

So, it's not a mistake.

I bought my iPhone last week, but I have been lusting after one since they arrived. I didn’t have much time to fiddle with it until yesterday, but I am now officially amazed.

I have cleaned up my gmail contact list and synced it, loaded a bunch of photos, practically every CD in my apartment, PLUS have downloaded a mess of music for my iTunes and still have more than 14 gb of free space to play with.

And I haven’t even touched the surface of the things it can do.

This thing is definitely the most legal fun you can have out of bed!

[Ronin]

Eeeek!!!!

A commoner!!!!

[Wyatt's Torch]

I still like my iPhone... :-)

Ditto. If I just had an iPod Touch I would still need a BlackBerry for work. I don't want two devices...

[Star Traveler]

You were saying ...

So, it's not a mistake.

Ahhh..., I understand now... good to know... (should have known that Apple doesn't make mistakes... :-) ... )

[Star Traveler]

You were saying ...

... but I am now officially amazed.

AND... I see many on Free Republic that will assure you -- that there is absolutely no reason to be amazed, and if you are, then you have actually been captured by a cult group and brainwashed... LOL...

At least you know the truth... :-)

[Star Traveler]

You were saying ...

I don't want two devices...

Very true and sensible... and once you see all that you get with that phone -- that mini-computer in your hands, you see that it's an amazing device... :-)

[Wyatt's Torch]

That’s why I have an iPhone... :-)

I love my iPhone.

[Joya]

Glad to find this — new to iPod and looking forward to using it.

Glad to have you aboard, Joya. I know you'll enjoy it.

And a side note to Swordmaker, here... do you have an iPod ping list, or is it all the Mac products in the ping list? Just wondering... thanks.

[Joya]

I’m on martin_fierro’s pinglist already, as you undoubtedly have inferred by now. Thank you FRiend.

Cheerio,
J

OFF TOPIC:

I am seeing your tagline, Randall, and had not heard of E-Cigs before. Thanks for the heads-up. I will include Quix in this, topic of interest, and the link I found:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_cigarette

[Star Traveler]

If you’re not on Swordmaker’s list, you might get on that one, too...

Enjoy that iPod... :-)
