second iBath Tweet

I took another bath today—am I spoiled!—and investigated the iPod Touch some more. I was quite taken aback by its battery dieing after maybe three hours of use in two days, altogether. It reminded me of mobile phones' batteries running low fast once you leave the Bluetooth on—why is it that best battery life to day still implies Li-Ion? Why hasn't that technology moved on? It did charge fast afterwards, the device, so I won't whine too long. In other news, I had fun using its Remote app to play songs off the mini through iTunes, and chose a punchy Blondie album to celebrate yet another November day in London. Then I spent a little time trying out another app, Writing Pad, which allows you to write words by tracing them on the keyboard. The idea is so beautiful and simple! Writing on the iPod Touch does mean you move your finger from one letter to another, thus creating a shape. Unfortunately, shape writing doesn't help with blogging, just notes and e-mail, so I don't see myself practice further. I tried to send a tweet but, while the Twitter page looked OK, there was no countdown for characters and that felt strange. Still in two minds, and posting this from Zoey.
