So I decided to bite the bullet and buy my son and iPod for his Junior High to High School promotion. Now, I am computer geek but know next to nothing about Apple products. I have had MP3 players in the past but I assume the iPod Touch is a whole new world.
One question that comes to mind is the release of the new iOS. Has it been released yet? Will be available as a free download to current Touch owners or will I need to wait a few weeks before they start showing up in stores with the new OS?
I also heard there is no charging cable in the box. Is this true? Will I need spend another fortune in accessories before I can even use this thing?
A question regarding the use of iTunes, how bad is it to use? Are there any alternatives to it? My son has two PC’s one at his mom’s and a laptop at my place, will he be able to synch his touch to both machines or is he only limited to one? For example, if he is at my place can he jump on iTunes and install a new app without having to synch all his music?
And last but not least, give me your opinions, positive and negative, on the device itself. What do you like about, not like about. Also, what are the must have accessories for the Touch?
