As I said back in September, I wanted an iPod Touch.

I have now finally got one after the Apple Store got them back in stock! And, so far, it’s been amazing. My InvisibleShield hasn’t quite arrived yet, so I’m going to keep the temporary plastic cover on it until it does.

The interface is amazing… Coverflow has absolutely no lag or delay, unlike in iTunes on my PC - it’s not everyday you can say your mp3 player performs better than your computer!

Hopefully I’ll be able to hack it soon to get some of the iPhone applications on it, such as Mail, Weather and Google Maps.

I bought myself the new Dell 2407WFP-HC, a 24" widescreen monitor with a native resolution of 1920×1200 - 120 pixels more than a 1080p HD video has

The extra 5 inches make a pretty big difference in pretty much everything - working, chatting or browsing web pages

Gaming at 1920×1200 is also a big change, once I had configured the games to run at that resolution - newer games, such as Command and Conquer 3 and Counter-Strike: Source were easy, you just select the resolution in a dropdown list. In others, such as Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam, it takes a bit of config file editing - but once that’s done, it works really well. Being able to see further to the left and the right helps a bit too

If I had the money, I’d definitely buy another one, but I’m saving for my new PC and about to buy an iPod Touch, so I won’t be getting another one for quite a while.

If you’re looking for a new monitor, and can stretch to the price for this one, I highly recommend it!
