iPod Touch: Is It an iPod or iPhone?

bigmoney- I don't see the ultra-portable as competition for iphone/touch. Do you? If I could do things like read CF cards and connect a BT keyboard to my touch maybe I could leave a laptop behind on certain trips. And coffee outings. As it stands I can't.

I really hope Apple has something well underway that bridges the gap between your machine and an iPhone. For all the talk about the iPhone being a computer --- it's a crippled computer at this point. All the potential in the world is there, but it needs to be let out!

As for linux ---- I've tinkered with a couple distributions on some really crappy hardware. From what I saw it isn't ready for anyone who doesn't like to tinker. At least I didn't see a version that is. I'm not saying there isn't one out there. But my take is that something needs to change if they're going to gobble up any consumer market share.
