I've decided to ditch my iPod touch. Sure, it's a fabulous media device if all you want to do is listen to music or watch video, but I was after a mobile computing platform; at the very least something that I could code for and use as a web client.
After about three weeks, I've given up trying to use it. While the whole "finger is better than a stylus" thing is true for point and click, the non-tactile keyboard is impossible to use for more than very rudimentary tasks.
I'm sure it would be fine if I had small hands, but at 6'5", my fingers covered several "keys" as I typed. So, at the same price point, I've ordered an Asus EeePC. It should arrive sometime next week.
