Having an Ipod touch and not using the full features of it would be like having a car and pushing it along. Your Ipod touch is not just for playing music it has so many more features like reading your emails through it, surfing the internet. If you dont use the full features you may as well just by a normal Ipod or even just a plain mp3 player.

So in this article we are going to go through syncing your Ipod touch with other medias so you can get the most out of your Ipod touch.

Okay getting to the good stuff here we go:-

• Web bookmarks
• Movies
• Contacts—names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and so on
• Music and audiobooks
