April 16, 2009, 08:21 PM posted in General DiscussionI just got an iPod Touch today for the specific reason of using it with CP to download podcasts and use the lessons/resources conveniently when I am out and about. Can anyone here recommend any apps that will add to studying? Looking for anything like flashcards, dictionaries, and the like. I suppose using scritter through Safari is an option as well (just occured to me).
I'm not the type really for these gadgets, so I thought I might find some veterans about.

There is a program called "memory stick" that will let you download the pdfs and mp3s, and hear and read at the sametime.
not ideal, you send 1 file at a time through a web interface over wifi.
The screen is barely good enough (320x480) to read chinesepod's pdfs (when zoomed only in on the body of text)

about half are free, others $5-$15 bucks.
I suggest gettin all the free ones - for sure.

PS: also go to settings and turn on the chinese keyboard options too. (pinyin and finger drawing)
