It'll be interesting to see how that plays out on devices other than handhelds, such as portable computing, desktops, and even things like TVs over the coming years as they converge in their function. Not sure i''d have admitted to listening to the Archers though..... Neil,

I had a cheap MP3 player beforehand and it was just messy to use, so I rarely used it. Apple have it right on the useability stakes. The ipod touch is great for music, but also quite good for the occassional surfing and checking on webmails too. You just doube tap the touch-screen to zoom in and out of a webpage. You can buy music straight off the device via itunes and the music syncs with your PC the next time you 'doc' in. Its great as an alternative 'photo frame' too as it holds my family pics and videos. The ipods software id also easy to sync podcasts from the BBC radio stations and others. I listened to the 'Archers' for the first time in years and the script writers had even put in a bit about social networking online...!!! Thats why I use an apple ipod touch as it is so easy to use.
