So far it's great! Ultra-intuitive and, as I had found when I played briefly with an iPhone, the virutal keyboard is amaziingly accurate, even for a fumbling fat-fingered typist such as myself.
Synching with iTunes, iPhoto, contacts, calendar and bookmarks is a snap.
The only thing I haven't been able to try yet is the WiFi browsing. Stay tuned..

If there was a reasonable monthly plan for someone who isn't going to be talking/surfing 24 hours a day, I'd have opted for an iPhone. But the monthly fee is way too rich for my blood for what I need from a mobile phone.
Hey Bear, you said you made your post with your new toy? So you can't make phone calls but you have an internet connection...how did I miss that? Can you clarify the whole internet end of this baby?
Eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. (If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much room.)

It has WiFi capability and built-in Safari.
Obviously it can't surf using EDGE, not being a phone, but as long as there's an open WiFi network (or one you know the credentials to), surfing's a breeze.

"lickable"? Mmm maybe you should hold off on those pics after all...
I have several collegues with the new touch. Very impressive, makes my old 20gig colour look very stone age.

Kathy just got one of these so-called iPod touch thingies - wow! We watched movies on it on the plane, (it drove both of our headphones thru a splitter with no problem). Right now she's got it glued to her hand and she's "surfing". Great battery life, amazingly quick synching, awesome display, and the surfing "appears" to be fun too (I wouldn't know because I can't seem to pry the thing away from her.)
