Imagine if Microsoft stopped you from installing applications on your PC - the uproar that would ensue! I have horror memories of an iPod mini 6GB unit that was a p.o.s and Apple's service and support was horrendous.
Plus, for some reason, my fingers don't work well with touch screens/pads.

Saw that coming....
Answer the question Dale asked Dave - we all really know what you think of Apple... for whatever reason.
Dale: The iPod Touch doesn't have the compass or GPS, so informing apps like Voyager and SkyMap where and when you are is trickier. The accelerometer still works, but without the compass of the phone it's hobbled somewhat. I have both the iPhone 3GS (best device I've ever owned,
IMHO...LOL!) and the eeePC. Tell you what - I whip out the iPhone and have my answer in seconds, but wait for the eeePC to boot. Which do I use more in the field? If the phone could run my PHD session, I'd use it solely.
