Isn’t it wonderful that you’re living in this century? Technology is evolving faster than ever before, and it seems like so many devices are becoming capable of more applications than originally designed for. The cell phone is one example – who would have thought that what was primarily designed as a communications tool would evolve into a digital camera, video camera, and music player all in one? Digital cameras too, have developed into powerful storage devices with editing capabilities; not to mention the ordinary computer, which was originally created for doing mathematical computations is now capable of virtually limitless applications – this includes the powerful potential the Internet (yes, YouTube and Google comes in) gives it.
Now focus on your Apple iPod. Apart from it being primarily a music player, it also allows you to read digital books, watch movies and TV shows, and of course, play games! This device is especially brilliant because it allows you to customize it according to your personal preferences: you could go to a website that offers iPod games, and then download those that you want. Depending on the website and where you are, expect to pay about $4.99 for every game you download (for the US; for the UK, $7.40; for Australia, $7.49). This is from the iTunes store. However, there are alternate websites you could try out: one of these is the iPod.onlinedownloads.org. At this website, you would pay a one-time fee of $50; this gives you unlimited access to the available iPod games and applications.
The games and applications are truly diverse, ranging from classic games (Tetris, Pacman and Sudoku, for example), RPG style games (such as Lost, based on the TV series; Fruit Juice Tycoon), cerebral games (Brain Challenge, Trivial Pursuit, and lots of trivia games for different topics such as food, music icons, etc.) and addictive time-wasters (such as Bejeweled, Peggle and Cubis 2).
There are also games available that would certainly appeal to the sports-minded; some examples include Minigolf, The Sims Bowling, and the Sims Pool. Some of the games don’t just have entertainment value as they can be used as educational tools as well.
You could even go to Youtube to watch how to download free iPod games, along with a tutorial. Check out also zimbio.com for instructions on iPod downloads.
If you consider the applications too (and not just the games) you would be faced with lots more choice of downloads that you could definitely enjoy and learn from. Some of these applications include a financial planner; “Big Oven” where you can have access to tons of recipes, such as pie recipes and other meal preparation instructions.
To help you choose which games and apps to choose, you could visit websites offering other iPod games and apps reviews, such as revver.com, and apple.com/games for comprehensive summaries of its offered games and applications.
The bottom line is that the Apple iPod is a truly revolutionary device from Silicon Valley Ca, not just for its entertainment but for its educational value as well. It’s definitely worth the investment; so get your bite from the fruit tree, now!
