Hi!
I ordered an Ipod touch for my hubby and I can't wait til it gets here to surprise him.  I have one question though... Is there an app that will read non-kindle books?  I get lots of free books from feedbooks, mobileread, manybooks, etc. and would like to be able to give him access to those as well.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, there are several apps in the App store for reading. I've tried ereader and stanza as well as the Kindle App.

No way!  OK, I'm really happy now!

See, you people around here are THE BEST!!!

There are APPS for EVERYTHING!!

Get the Koi Pond app...It's my kids favorite!

I'm addicted to Distant Shore now... you throw messages out in bottles to other people on their own island.  I have been watching American Idol while texting back and forth with complete strangers.  So fun!

I don't have an Ipod Touch, but this was the closest thread I could find to ask my question.
My SIL gave me her Ipod 60gb this week.  She has never used it.  Didn't even know how to turn it on.  In fact, I am the only person that has ever used it in the three years she's had it. 
My question is this: the volume control has an unlock code.  No matter what I put in I'm getting the red flashing signal indicating I have the wrong code.  I don't think anyone has added a code, although I can't be certain of that. 
I have tried all of the resets that have been suggested and still nothing. 
Any suggestions?

Did you do a hard reset? Does that model have an admin code?

 

[drenee]

what exactly is the hard reset?  i held the two buttons they told me to hold.  And I went onto the computer and did what they said to reset while connected to the computer.  What is the admin code?  Where do i find it?
thanks, deb

You might wanna checkout a Mac forum.

 

[drenee]

Thanks.  I actually just got everything reset in the last few minutes.  I found a manual online and read through quite a bit of it before I found the information I needed. 
Again, thank you for the help.

Enjoy your "new" iPod. That was nice she gave it to you since she wasn't using it.
On to I Tunes and start the downloading.

Thank you.  I have been converting all of music that I currently have on my computer all day.  I'm afraid to start shopping for more music.  It will turn out to be another addiction I can't quit I'm sure.

I am sure there is another board full of enablers to help you with that, if we can't.

It keeps me occupied too... I've discovered how to make the fish go in circles. It's pretty fun...That and I chase them off the screen.

So I really want to get an Ipod Touch but cant decide if I should wait until my phone contract expires in November and just get the IPhone.  Any suggestions?

Sam

I should also mention that I hate hate hate my current phone and will be replacing in November regardless.

Speaking as someone who doesn't have an iPhone either (but just ordered a refurb Touch), can you afford the iPhone? More importantly, how is the AT&T coverage in your area. It is horrid where I live so no iPhone for me. As a gadget girl, I'd love one, but can wait...

My son had the same dilemma. He called and asked my opinion. I reminded him that phones, no matter which ones they are, rarely last the two years until you can get another one. I voted Ipod Touch, and he agreed. He couldn't be happier. He also linked it to my account and has been reading books like crazy on it.
