My name is Dorsey, and I have an iTouch...

and I visit the App Store several times a day...Ugh!!

That shit is ADDICTIVE!! Years ago I got a present for myself, a iTouch iPod. It is the 8GB model, not the 16GB model, so I don't have as much room on it as I could. But I still LOVE it!! I use it for so much more than music ad videos these days. A while back my laptop started having issues with charging the battery. It is only by some miracle that I was able to position the adapter in just the right way this morning and the battery charged all the way up. So for several weeks, I wasn't even turning on my laptop. If I checked email, or anything else for that matter, downstairs it was from my handy dandy iTouch. And although I can type at 50WPM, I think I could text at about 10 WPH. My fingers were NOT build for those tiny little buttons. And the auto-word on the iPod is just as frustrating.

A while back I discovered the App Store and downloaded a few cute games and such, but nothing major. I tend to lean towards the FREE stuff as that is right in our budget!! (And I don't get griped out from the Hubby for FREE..hehe) We downloaded something that could help us find just about EVERYTHING anywhere in the US. (we found on experimentation that it did NOT work in the Philippines), we could look up everything from schools to airports to law services to dining options and more. And it linked up with the web browser and maps to help you eve more. Pretty cool, huh? And honestly most things I installed were more for the hubby than myself, as we would take my iPod with him on his business trips. I even downloaded a iRisk game thingy.

Yeah, there's more than three little pages of crap on there!!! And I can NOT help myself, I keep seeing the damned commercials where they show apps and then I HAVE to go look for them and see if there's a free version. HAHAHA!

I've emailed from my iTouch, but have yet to blog from there, as stated before my typing is REALLY slow on that small of a keyboard. But I HAVE read blogs and commented from there. So yes, I am ready for a support group for the App Store but I think it would only be in order to find out from other junkies what apps they like and use. HA!!!!

So if you have an iTouch, or iPhone, check out the app store...it is AWESOME and has TONS of shit for FREE!!!!!!

My only complaint is that my battery runs down too fast, every night I plug it into a boombox I bought that it clicks in to, and if the boombox is plugged into a wall outlet it'll charge your iPod. Works for me!!!
