Last weekend was an iPhone and iPod Touch weekend. People all around the world lined up to buy their new iPhone 3G. By ‘all around the world’ I meant, ‘the countries that Apple is selling its iPhone 3G’. Malaysia not included.

However with the coming of the new iPhone 3G, it also means that new iPhone and iPod Touch firmware is available. I spend the last weekend waiting, upgrade iTunes, waiting, updating my iPod Touch, browsing the iTunes app store, downloading and trying out apps.

Read all about it over at MyMacBUZZ. Also incase you haven’t yet found out, iTunes Store is now available in Malaysia. Only apps are for sale no music or video catalog.

Early 2006, Apple had announced a couple of iPod accessories products. One of it is the infamous iPod Hi-Fi. It is a speaker system developed, manufactured and sold by Apple Inc. It acts as a Hi-Fi quality sounding speaker for your iPod, and it did just that.

The product didn’t gain any traction, and was discontinued by the end of 2007. I would actually love to see a revamp version of iPod Hi-Fi. The new iPod Hi-Fi 2.0 would have some new features. Not talking about build-in FM tuner, alarm clock or anything mediocre like that. Here are two of my suggestions to the Apple engineering team for the next version of iPod Hi-Fi.

I’ve been touched. I got myself an iPod Touch while I was at Singapore recently. There should be a t-shirt with the phrase “I went to Singapore and all I got was an iPod Touch” on it. Apple’s iPod’s are a little bit cheaper in Singapore then it is in Malaysia.

I bought my iPod Touch at Club 21 over at Cineleisure Orchard road. They were having an offer, buy a MacBook Pro and get a free Xbox 360.

Owning an iPod Touch is like having a slim sexy hot supermodel for a girlfriend. First few hours with it was intimidating. Then when you get to know each other closer, you know where to touch, what to touch, things gets better.

Just like your hot supermodel girlfriend, the iPod Touch will turn heads when you go out with it. People will come up to you and ask about your iPod device. They have no interest in you by any means, just your iPod.

I was at some pasta restaurant, while waiting for my food to arrive, I took out my iPod Touch to search for an open wifi signal I can use.

“It’s that an MP4 player? It’s very slim. Oh it’s the new iPod. You can surf with that? can you open Facebook on that?” said the waitress.

Hot sexy supermodel girlfriend, are very choosy. The iPod Touch is same in a way that, its very choosy about what media or data it accepts. You can only use iTunes to sync, transfer media files to your iPod Touch. Music, video, and photos, everything need to sync to your Touch via iTunes. You can’t just dump any video format on it and expect it to play.

Most sexy supermodel girlfriend need to accessorize. You will end up buying tons of things from jewelry, shoes to expensive clothes. The iPod Touch is no different.

I’m currently looking for a case for my iPod Touch. I need a speaker or stereo attachment so that I could listen to it at my room with out the earphone. I also need a new Mac, my PowerBook G4 with USB 1.1 takes decades to sync my Touch. A new in-car stereo head unit with a iPod attachment or a AUX port so I could listen to my iPod in my car. Heck may be I should get a new car. The iPod FM tuner gives a not-so-good audio quality.

I welcome any recommendations.

So far it sounds like such a hassle, but when you got to play with it, touch and pinch, your sexy slim supermodel girlfriend, in this case I mean the iPod Touch, it is all worth it.
