Mother’s Day iPod


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

I was fortunate to have my mom with me during Mother’s Day this year. I gave her an iPod, which is kind of funny. Up until now, she’s never wanted one. She had no idea how they worked, nor if she’d ever use the thing. She took it into an Apple store with her, and explained she had no clue what to do. They talked in circles around her about syncing and such. She walked out more confused than when they started.

Mom is a trooper though! She says that when she gets home, she will sync the iPod, since she has to choose between “sync or swim”. Yes – I get my sense of humor from her. She loves technology, of course. She still has the first transistor radio her father bought her several years ago – and it still works!

The iPod I bought for her was personalized, and even has her email address engraved on the back. During the video, I taught her to open the browser and search for something using the touch screen. I explained to her about Apps, and I have a feeling once she dives into looking at them she’ll go crazy! There are just so many cool things she can do using her iPod.

Did she roll her eyes when I told her she could subscribe to my podcast?!?! Seriously?!?!

Just kidding, Mom. You know I love you, and think you’re the best. Happy Mother’s Day!

i think that your mom will like it :)

Your mother looks a little overwhelmed by the iPod Touch. Sounds like it will come in handy for her, though.

I got my mother an iPod for Mother’s Day too. I gave it to her when I returned to Japan for a visit. Of course, her new desktop has Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition, so I don’t know whether iTunes will play nice with Vista or not. Oh well, here’s hoping. ;)

I think your mother will be able to sync and swim rather than sink and drown. After all, you’re a chip off the block.
