So my computer died last week and in my desperate attempt to get back online asap (I am addicted to the net) I rushed out and bought an iPod touch. $200 and back online, cheapest option available although my backside may expand from spending too much time at Maccas using free wifi. Such are the sacrifices I am willing to make.
What's it like to blog fingertyping on a 3" screen? Not nearly as painful as I thought it would be. The downside? Without a pc to plug an iPod into it's pretty limiting. You can't upload photos or upgrade the software on your pod. You can't even charge the battery! A cheap iphone wall charger will fix that though. Every website you visit loads as a crappy "mobile" version, so I can't see full item listings on ebay for example, just a photo and a bidding option. I don't think its likely my pod will be my sole source of digital fix but it's useful for the money and I'll no longer need to cart a laptop around the country with me when I fly. Worth the money if you buy a cheaper model but I wouldn't be shelling out $500 for one of the top spec models.
The typing function is surprisingly good with an accurate auto corrector and a nice doubleclick zoom function so you won't go blind reading text. I'm happy to be back online even if in a reduced capacity.
