The ipod touch is without a doubt the sexiest portable music player second only to the iphone. However a few features are left amazingly lax, the biggest flaw occurs with the simple fact that apple has locked the ipod down just like everything other product. However this does allow some advantages: 1. It works and well at that. Microsoft OS's have constantly been plauged by the poor performance of other companies, windows Vista being proof. 2. You know that it will be supported for a while. Apple may force comsumers into an upgrade cycle quite often (mini display port), but you must give them credit for what they do.
However there is a way, a simple solution, that will easily give you the best of both worlds. JAILBREAK!!!!! I've just completed the process and find the uses of it to be superior to anything apple could have done, because it was made by people who wanted to make it all it could be. My only advice to anyone buying this product is, 1. don't buy it unless your willing to jailbreak it, and 2. JAILBREAK IT
Jailbreaking allows the device to become an open platform for the app store, cythia, and installer. Apple thanks for the gimped player, don't worry i've fixed it

Star Wars TFU: I've Heard Enough Bad Reviews
As you may or may not know the Force unleashed has recently hit the market. In this canon (meaning it is part of the Star Wars Universe, not the expanded universe) game you play as Darth Vader's secret apprentice, with the promise from the developers to "Kick ass with the force!" But there is a big problem lurking beneath the awesome premise....
Hype and glitches
Hype: Being a star wars game it has some things to live up, games like KotOR, were games that although not canon redefined the star wars expanded universe. But this game being the only canon game to grace the star wars series it was kinda a big deal
Glitches: this game has quite a few but nothing game breaking the biggest glitch i found was during an autosave where if it is turned off your entire save is gone, and i was on the last level of the hardest difficulty it was very sad.
Here is where the problem arises though nearly every review i've heard was about how terrible the game is, Video game show spent several minutes telling you the demo was too far in the game for an accurate representation of how the game plays, which is false as that is the first level. Yes your powers were SLIGHTLY higher than they are at that point in the actual game but nothing huge you just had force lightning.
Gametrailers gave it a 6.9 because it got too repetitive... which is only true if you the user choose to just use the same moves over and over. At this point i began feeling like Lono and too human
So i decided the best way to fix all this was to show an actual I finished the game, I experienced the glitches, and I know what score it deserves
I give Star Wars the Force Unleashed a 8.5 out of ten
my biggest complaint is that the promise of getting to choose your path was very limited and the dark side ending was not only stupid but not even worth the work it takes to get
