Goin' Mobile

Remember when the iPod was only a music player? It was at a time when Palm and Pocket PC were the big platforms. But here comes Apple with OS X &, voilà, we have a telephone which like Palm and Pocket PC, can be a mobile office. Then a new version of iPhone called iPod Touch, which is like the iPhone but no camera and and no native phone ability, though with VOiP capabilities through Skype, it becomes a backup mobile phone as well as great mobile computer.

Just think that you once needed a desktop or notebook computer to do all of this. There was the Apple Newton, and this is inspired by that Apple Newton. Now if Apple would permit a software workaround as well as a tiny video camera to work with this device, as it would make this device even more convenient and complete. A few ounces beat a few pounds anyday.
