I'm going to be honest. I'd never heard of Watchmen till I started reading about the movie on Giz. So, for my contribution to this post, here's a somewhat related picture that I found comical.
@aerospaceman: It actually wouldn't matter if the touch supported it. The only way this would really be useful is if you can get audio out of the device without using the headphone jack. If the 1G touch supported it, it'd only be good for recording, as there's no internal speaker. The only way to get a proper line in and audio out simultaneously on the 1G is to get an adapter for the docking port, not the headphone jack.
Can't people stop bitching about tech blog writers' use of the term "iTouch"? For the love of Johannsen's funparts, it's actually more annoying than someone's use of the word. Should we dump truncated combos such as WinMo? No more short nicknames with apostrophe prefixes like 'book? C'mon.
@Kaiser-Machead: Yeah because its so much harder to just say touch or add the three letters for iPod Touch.
I don't know why it bugs me. I guess because I don't look at it as truncating the name. I see it as calling something the wrong thing. There are knock off products called itouch maybe thats part of it.
@tande04: Not a matter of difficulty. It's just something that catches on. It's not really worth the whining. I mean really.
If you walk up to a guy with a brand new M3, and say "Hey man, nice Bimmer!" and he says "Hey, it's BMW M3, thanks", wouldn't that be just a little annoying? lol
@Kaiser-Machead: My favorite attempt by geeks to shorten things is the use of Y2K to save a single character in typing and completely ignoring the fact that Y2K would technically be the year 2048 in geek terms. That said, complaining about it is always more work than just laughing at our own silliness.
@Kaiser-Machead: "If you walk up to a guy with a brand new M3, and say "Hey man, nice Bimmer!" and he says "Hey, it's BMW M3, thanks", wouldn't that be just a little annoying? lol"
Sure, but then I'd reply, "Whatever, douchebag." and keep walking..
@Stephen Washburn: There's no such thing as WinMo either, but it's always common practice to compress the names of certain products into fewer syllables or just some loving nickname. We understand what an iTouch is, even if there's no actual product by that name.
What kind of person takes a dump while on the phone with the credit card company?
It's very possible that the strain in your voice can convince the rep on the phone to work a bit faster, or move you up to a better service department.
