It's a lovely piece of hardware, and a fantastic example of convergence. Still don't have an unlimited data contract yet (coming soon...) but even without it I have a few wifi hotspots around (uni ftw!), and it's been absolutely amazing. It's very useful to pick up SMS, e-mail, MSN, anything anywhere, go on IRC, phone, whatever...and have all the extra functions: VNC Viewer NES Emulator GPS DDR Terminal Vibr...I mean, nothing... I think Apple have really been shooting themselves in the foot by not opening it up, so yay for hackers! Mine is currently on Orange :D This is of course, all not mentioning the fact that it's a great MP3 player, a good video player, and honestly actually a pleasure to use (Yay, the N95 has GPS and 3G...it's just far more cumbersome IMO)! I do like the look of the iPod Touch (though of course I have no reason for owning one since I have an iPhone :P), but certain things struck me: 1) The beauty of my iphone is I now no longer need both a phone and an iPod - no such benfit with the touch 2) They decided to arbitrarily take out certain functionality (why can you not edit calendar appointments on it?!) 3) Why dear God why did they switch back to shiny rather than brushed aluminium? My old iPod was just a scratch magnet for exactly that reason... 4) Why no hardware volume buttons? So useful! Although, mitigated somewhat by the double-tap for iPod control system Overall...I am a big fan of the iPhone. Other than opening it up (RE software) I think Apple did as good a job as they did, and even controversial decisions (like the option to not include 3g for space & battery reasons) I think they made the right call on. Anyone else picked up an iphone/iPod Touch? [url=http://www.wrayal.org][img]http://www.wrayal.org/JS/asylum.JPG[/img][/url] Loading...
