 Love it October 3, 2008
I've had the iPod Touch for about a month. I just took it with me on a business trip and it was magnificent. I was able to keep in touch with my office via e-mail on the Touch; also the e-mail let me see not only the text messages but also attachments; full web browsing for both the conference material and for things to do after hours; I had downloaded various free games to entertain me; I bookmarked links to my travel info; used it as my music player on the plane. It was both an indispensable business tool and a great toy. The App selection is broad and growing daily.
Shortcomings: Very few. Typing with the touch screen keypad is, of course, not as good as a real keyboard - much slower - but the device does compensate by having a fairly robust correction mode - type anything close to the word you want and it auto-corrects to that word. When actively using Wireless, the battery life isn't great. I'd say less than 3 hours of continuous browsing & e-mail, but that's about what you get with a laptop.
Overall, the iPod replaced my laptop for communication purposes and that made me very happy.

it's a cool gadget October 2, 2008
It's cool.. make sure you have latest software installed, at this moments 2.1 to get full features and applications. Like iPhone minus communications capabilities. All apps for iPhone could use on this gagdet as long as you installed the latest software.
Should Last More than a Month, Don't You Think? October 2, 2008

For the month it worked, it was wonderful. It was easily the coolest iPod I've ever had. Would I buy another one? We'll see how their tech support pans out. It's a lot of money to spend on something that will burn out so soon. I'm not sure what caused the flame-out. It was never dropped or ever got wet. It was never left in a hot car or got too cold. From the research I did before purchasing, I didn't read of many problems at all, so maybe this particular unit was defective. I'm disappointed with my experience, either way. Next time I'll go for something a little less flashy.

Extremely useful for the things I like to do and not bothered by a phone which I have little use for away from work.
