Dreams of a bookofjoe-friendly iPod touch

1ghouhh

I watched the new Apple iPod touch demo earlier today and have the following comments:

1) I have zero interest in iTunes and music on the iPod touch, so the first 60% or so of the video was wasted on me.

2) I have zero interest in photos and videos on the iPod-touch, so the next 20% was equally useless.

3) I have zero interest in watching YouTube videos on the iPod-touch, so another 10% bites the dust.

4) The nitty gritty from my perspective — using the device to post stuff to bookofjoe — doesn't seem to be very promising, what with a) text entry/virtual keyboard only working in the vertical orientation, and b) no Bluetooth (apparently) to enable me to use my Stowaway keyboard with it.

What I would really like to see is a mashup of a Bluetooth-enabled WiFi-capable iPod touch (no iTunes, no video playing capability) with this

device.

Project that keyboard right down from the iPod.

Now you're talking.

Love the keyboard, but does it come with a comuple of sticky raspberry pips to place where the F and J keys are? I'd be lost without that.

Interesting comments. Myself, I love the phone. I never listen to music. Occasionally, I'll look at a download TED talk. But more often than not when I'm not at home, I'm checking my e-mail or looking at my many bookmarked web pages, bookofjoe one of them. I also use the google map function and found it well worth the price of the entire phone when I spent three weeks visiting Chicago this summer. My friend who owns a Q is in constant awe of how easily I can look up what he wants to know or where a restaurant is in our hometown. For me, it works so much better than many of the other keyboards I've experienced including the razr and the q. There's room out there for all of us consumers. Even the ones who are hell bent to unlock the iPhone. Funny how no one wanted to unlock the Q.
