I’d be happy with a Newton with a color screen and a tiny keyboard. Something like the eMate but smaller.

Well Michael, a pretty good picture. It looks like a BlackBerry to me. I you sure that isn’t a Bold and you don’t want to admit it.

Now I hope that you start using it as much as you’ve talked about it here and on Twitter.

Aside from the cellular and the camera, the iPod touch is pretty much the same as the iPhone. You can run the same apps.

I don’t use my phone all that much for voice calls, but now I’ll be able to use it for cellular-based web surfing, email, etc.

Haha. I was actually trying to mock Stephen with his Twitter BlackBerry pic. Go check his profile.

I hardly ever use my cell phone. And, just as a typed that, it started to ring. Anyway, probably 98% of the time it’s not even charged or used.

I guess I’d rather have an iPod than a fancy phone anyway. Though the iPhone does seem appealing, though more for the apps than the phone part. But, I think the iPod Touch can do most of the non-phone functions of the iPhone. Too bad they can’t seem to fit a decent amount of storage space as they can with the iPod Classic.
