Jennifer’s iPod Touch – What Do I Need?

Hello Fellow Touch and iPhone Users, 

I am in a bit of a quandry and looking for some help from all of you.

Anyone that haa read my previous posts know that I am a bit challenged by the technology and the conplexities of the iTouch, well all technology actually.  At last posting I was struggling with the process of syncing my contacts from YAHOO to my iTouch.  I tried so hard I managed to bring my laptop to a grinding halt, but was unable to complete the sync process.  I gave up that dream and lost the use of my laptop.  I then wrote my last poston iTouch.  It is doable, but definitely much more challenging.

It is time consuming and I find the screen size is limiting as well.

After writing the post on my iTouch I decided that I needed to use my laptop for speed and accuracy and the well being of my eye sight.  So this past weekend I put much time and effort into repairing my laptop so I could log-on and resume posting on a regular basis.  After chaging out memory, resetting the laptop to factory condition and slowly adding the basic programs my computer came equipped with my laptop died! It will not even boot up now.

I am still mournig the loss of my 11 month old prized laptop named Lucy. I have not fully accepted that she is no longer a working unit.

I know many of you are saying "go buy a new one", and a few LOUDER voices are chanting "MAC MAC MAC".  However, neither of those are viable options right now.

I am going to try to  remember how to sync my iPod to a computer, and link it to my work PC.  Luckily my boss loves me.  But this leaves me with no computer at home, just my iTOUCH.  I use my laptop for so much at home.  I do a lot of work from home, producing files and research also.

My question to you is this…..

since my iTouch will be my only computer for a while what are the best applications to make my online tasks easier?  I use evernote already and a few free applications but those are more for fun. 

I would love to know what apps you  think I could use to make this part of my challenge a lit "less challenging".
