Ipod Touch


The Ipod touch has quickly become more than just a musical device. Now, more than ever, you can do so much with the Ipod. The newest applications are making everything easier.
The first application includes a street view map. You can find a location on a map, and then zoom in to a street view of the area. That way, if you are on the correct street, all you have to do is search this new application, and look for landmarks on the street to help you with your location.
Another application is a flight simulation game. Imagine being able to control a fighter plane, as you careen through the sky, shooting down enemy pilots, and in general having a good time. The Ipod uses the wide screen angle to help you see more, and utilizes the handheld aspect of the device so that you can twist and turn with the flight so it seems more like you are flying with it.
A second directional application is Google Earth. As many of you are aware, Google earth is a program that allows you to search the world for locations. Then you can search for specific addresses within the searched area. It makes it much easier to explore the world


Overall, the applications are quite cool, and hopefully, Apple will keep it up
