Comments on: My iPod touch http://est1976.blogsome.com/2007/10/15/my-ipod-touch/ when I have something on my mind, I often hold my tongue.

I have an OLD Compac that is slow as can be. So, I've dreaming of a Dell 14 " laptop, or a Toshiba 13 ", or an Asus 7" Eee PC, or the 4" Nokia N810 or an IPod Touch 3.5". In fact, I think that I have lised these in a declining order of functionality! The Dell would be a great upgrade for my Compac (Core 2) as the Compac struggles with my IP's security buzz. The Tosh (Core Duo) would be a bit warm. The Asus would be like a tablet. The Nokia might strain the eyes a bit. Look, I love the idea of the iTouch. *********************************** I am ticked a bit by its iTunes shackles. It seems you can't save any old file in its memory, and I am not sure if it saves web files. Even so, it is a marvel nnd I will probably get it and upload a few books for the wife. It was able to compute a Google Maps "From - To Route". That sold me, but; I do not want to write Google "Trip Tickets" by hand ! so it better save them ! Actually, I have to get one just to keep up with all "mobile chat" ! Well I am no tech guy. I have an OLD Compac that is slow as can be.

I have to look down to advance tracks, adjust volume... anything. Very distracting all for a freaking multi-touch screen. yeah, I know. sorry. and you know what, would it have killed them to give me a couple of other real buttons?

I'm still better off just using a real pc. The browsing is very slow and I think it might just have to do with mobile safari and the amount of ram that might be in the device. The 'real internet' on the Touch isn't that much fun. plus, there's still no support for flash. The web browsing is actually disappointing. I’m still better off just using a real pc.

If it would allow me to get my web "fix" without sitting in front of a home computer and without feeling detached from a the "regular" internet I would be compelled to get one myself.
