iPod Touch does it on the train

So how does one write a blog when you no longer have daily 
unrestricted access to the Internet? well recently I was persuaded to  purchase an iPod Touch. Well in all honesty after Steve J. announced  that the new version would allow for the email, maps and widgets and  in a month 3rd party legal software, it was a given.

It isn't the cheapest mp3 player in the world, and yes you are stuck  to using iTunes for you music collection, but all the music in 505 was  in iTunes already. Hege has spent the last 3 months (we have around  500) ripping every cd and finding cover art. This, because 505 is dj'd  by a sonos, which I will get into another day, but in short it is  litterally amazing.

But back to the case at hand, I am typing this now as I sit in a train  and the verdict? As close to perfect as it could be, it does what you  need and it honestly does it brilliantly and that's before you start  playing music or videos (not my beloved divx though). It is honestly  an incredible little wonder.

I just got a Nokia N95 8GB for work, so we will see which of the two  win in the long run, but without being overly bias, I think my "fun"  time will be spent on the touch and I am quit ok with that .
