iPod are the best portable devices on the market. Should I buy one for my son? At first, I thought it’s not necessary, since I already bought a laptop and a calculator for him. After I talked with my son, he seemed love iPod touch and told me because it’s portable and the best mobile platform to use and learn technology for engineering students. My son convinced me, and I bought the cheapest iPod touch for him. Sorry, Mom has to consider budget!

Do not play too much games using his iPod touch!
Will my son listen to me? I’m not sure whether a 18-year-old boy listen to his mom or not …
