Me Against the Apple

I have read Bryan's review and he has my full support (due to a conversation we had earlier on, haha). Plus, another thing to take note of...

During Macworld 08, Steve presented a few iPod touch updates. Widgets of mail, maps and notes to name a few. In fact, many of these apps were originally present in touch's brother, the iPhone. But due to a marketing decision, these were'nt carried forward to the touch. What's worse is that users have to shell out 20 bucks now, just to get their hands on them. As an iPod touch customer, I firmly believe that they should be there for free. C'mon, we ought to be given the opportunity to fully utilize our built-in wifi and touchscreen!

Besides, I was actually hoping for Apple to enable wireless syncing into both the iPhone and touch. Apple competitors such as Archos and Microsoft have already implemented this function into their devices. Being able to update our libraries without the need to plug our pods in will be prove to be immensely convenient. I believe an update like this will be a major blow to existing touch and iPhone users, as well as upcoming wannabe owners.

So much for the "Big Apple"
