In the BlogBytes blog entry “No Computer for Christmas” I mentioned that I was enticed by another gadget instead of a desktop computer. I’ve since been asked by a reader what that gadget was.

Trusted Reviews writes this about it:
“you can dismiss it as an over-priced gimmick…but that would be ignoring the sheer software and hardware engineering genius that’s gone into making this product viable”
and
“Put simply, if you want to experience the cutting edge in interface design, this is the best way of doing it without saddling yourself with a $60 per month phone bill”.
(I altered the price per month from Pounds to Dollars with the lowest Rate Plan for the iPhone from apple.com)

Yes, it is the iPod Touch, less than an iPhone without the cellphone but more than just a widescreen iPod, a whole lot more. I’ve actually only listened to one or two songs on it and watched one video clip (excluding the ones from YouTube). The rest of the time I browsed the internet with my index finger, and searched for web apps I could use on the Touch.
