The iPod Touch


This week marked a monumental move by Apple. They banned over 5,000 "overtly sexual" apps from the app store. These apps were making money for Apple and developers and this decision was not based on finances.

However, dear reader, there is something you should know about the iPod Touch. This machine is more than an iPod. It can play music, but you need to know that when it is in the vicinity of any wi-fi hotspot, this machine is as powerful as most laptop computers. It can browse any part of the internet. It can connect to youtube, facebook, twitter, myspace, instant messaging clients, etc.

The iPod Touch can even act as a cell phone with apps such as Skype and Fring. This is a powerful computer.

There are parental controls which are built into the iPhone and iPod Touch operating system. These are accessed by going to Settings | General | Restrictions. Until I write my own version, I would like to point you to this easy guide by Suren Ramasubbu
