Maximizing Your iPod Touch

I've had my iPod Touch for about six months now. I love everything about it. Being a Mac enthusiast I knew going into it that I would use my iPod touch for much more than just a media player. But I never knew just how handy it would become. Instead of an AmEx, I don't leave home without my iPod touch.

The app store has made available all kinds of useful applications for iPhone and iPod touch users. Pretty much anything you can do on an iPhone (except make calls obviously), you can do with an iPod touch. Now some apps do require you have WiFi but many can be used with or without it.

I never go to the grocery store without first making my list on the iPod Touch or online with the app GroceryGadget. I can create list based on what stores I'm going to, upload pictures of the products, sort them in various way, and sync between the website and the iPod Touch. It also keeps track of how much I am spending. This had been a must for a person like me who is on a budget.

Keeping track of all my spending has become very easy with the checkbook app. I record every penny I spend and then when I come home I send it as a .qif file to my email account. Then all I have to do is import it into my checkbook program on my computer.

There are too many apps that have helped me in my daily life to list here. My point is that if you are in the market for an iPod Touch, just know that it will serve many needs other than just music and videos if you put it to work for you.
