I Have Joined The iPhone Club

Actually, the iPod club but I still feel like a iPhone user now.

I bought myself an iPod touch. After years of resisting the whole iPod/iPhone/iPad trend, I have given in and have finally joined the club. I couldn't afford to buy the iPhone outright, and want to avoid getting locked into a two-year contract so I bought the much cheaper iPod Touch instead. The only difference is that I can't use it as a phone, unless I am in a wifi hotspot and use skype.

Now I understand what everyone is going on about. I absolutely lurrrrve my iPod. After a month of having it, I now don't know what I will do without it. I have been so protective of it and scared that it will break. I keep it in a hardened leather pouch and if I am going somewhere where I am afraid that it may get lost or stolen, I wont bring it along. It's too important.

Funny thing is, I don't use my iPod for what it was originally intended for -storing music. I have a few tracks on there, music that I created myself so I can share it if people are interested in hearing my work but other than that, I don't have any music on there.

I don't use it as an mp3 player but I use it for everything else. I have even designed websites from it. Before my iPod, I never knew what all the hype was about. Now I understand.

Before my iPod, I used an Android tablet which was great... Until I got my iPod. I have nothing against the Android operating system, it's fantastic but the actual tablet device was cheap and I had issues with the touch screen. I was amazed by how sensitive the iPod touch screen was, and how easy it was to type on it, even though it is 1/4 the size of my Android tablet.

Photobucket

Yes, that is a picture of myself, taken from my iPod. I have never liked being in front of the camera and have always avoided having pictures taken (unless I have had a few drinks, of course) but if anyone had a look through my iPod, they would think I was a narcissist. It is full of self-portraits and dodgy bathroom mirror pictures where I am dressed up and looking glamorous, but there is a toilet in the background and a wet towel on the floor.

I am very pleased with my purchase. The only thing that I have ever bought that has been more life-changing was my laptop. It's amazing how material objects can change your life, if it wasn't for my laptop, I would have never started working online. Now with my iPod, I can continue working while I am away from my laptop. I just love it.

Hellen HighHeels Is Now Available On Iphone and Android Devices!

Whoohoo! You can now read the Hellen HighHeels blog from your iPhone or Android device.

While most people are spending Valentines Day with their partners, either having a lovely romantic dinner or snuggling on the couch with a glass of wine, I spent Singles Awareness Day doing something constructive.

Through the Bloapp application, you can access Hellen HighHeels from anywhere using your iPhone or Android device.

iPhone users can download the Bloapp app here.

Android users can download the Bloapp app here.

Once you have downloaded the Bloapp application, you can either use the search function to look for "Hellen HighHeels" or alternatively, you can use the Bloapp in-built QR code scanner to scan the Hellen HighHeels QR code:
Once you have done that, you are free to read the Hellen HighHeels blog from anywhere you like.

I have tried to make a Hellen HighHeels app that you can download directly onto your iPhone or Android device without using the Bloapp app, but have had no luck so far. However, I will keep trying.

Android users may be able to download the Hellen HighHeels app directly to their Android device by clicking here but it hasn't been working correctly on my Android tablet. I am not sure if it is a problem with my tablet or if I stuffed up somewhere making the app. I'm just going to keep trying.

For now, I recommend using the Bloapp application to access Hellen HighHeels from your phone. I personally have had no issues using the Bloapp app on both my iPod Touch and Android tablet and can access the Hellen HighHeels blog easily.
