iPod Newton

The iPod touch is an interesting little device. Essentially it’s an iPhone without the phone - something many people, including myself, will find quite attractive. When the iPhone was announced I got very excited by the interface and touch screen, but wasn’t too keen on the idea of changing phone companies and being tied to a long and expensive contract.

Without the phone, the iPod touch is more akin to a PDA, or if you’re feeling nostalgic, the new Newton. However, for me, there’s a few things missing - Bluetooth, Mail and iChat. Add these to the mix and you have a very desirable product, at a sensible price too.
