iPod touch Apple we love the ipod touch but it is missing the following...Can you fix it?

thank you very much sir... for those who prefer a more refined version of said language i shall translate it into my native Oxford English:

"It looks absolutely spiffing, but really sir, ask yourself this... Is it worth denying ones-self 10x the possible storage on said device for the sake of saving only 4mm on the width of the device i have been refering to?"

Edit: On second thoughts maybe your translation is better :p

Surely nobody in Oxford ends sentences with a preposition?

(The queen (it's her English isn't it?) would say "...the device to which I have been referring?")

:D
 
it can have software updates as im sure your're all aware, it will probably be hacked for mail access as the interface is basically identical. i can not wait for mine to come:apple::apple::apple:23DAYS:apple::apple::apple:

P.S. i would like a built in shower for those days when you get dirty:rolleyes:

schoolgirl version:
"omg like that ipod is totally cool but what the hell! I can't hold both anthologies of A Simple Plan AND Fallout Boy just to save 4mm in thickness?! I only care about how thick my waist is, not my ipod, like duh!!"

gansta version:
"**** looks FINE, but what up dog? where the megabytes be at? you be trippin to think slicin 4mm is worth more than housin all ma boys sticky icky RNB hits, some rezpek please!"

Sorry guys I'm drunk.
 
I'd love to see it take on some of those features (and finally be close to replacing my newton)... I'm sure apple won't officially do that (right now, anyway), but it would be nice.

Or heck, just make a 3rd product out of the same form factor, 4mm thicker, add a HDD, and call it a newton. that would make me really happy though it'll probably never happen...
 
If Apple put all those features in right now they'd have no "innovations" left for the next gen update.

Give it time. In the mean time everything you want is available on the iPod touch through web apps:

iChat - FlickIM
Mail - Gmail, hotmail, yahoo, squirrelmail, etc.
Notes - Don't Forget The Milk
 
Get In Line Folks

GET IN LINE FOLKS

Why the heck would Apple provide you with all of these features that you are asking for when the iPhone hasn't even seen additional features as of yet?

Don't bank on them doing anything that could harm their iPhone sales.

That means:
-No SDK - the OS for the Touch and the iPhone is the same, so they're not going to be releassing an SDK for the Touch only to marjorly piss off the mobile carriers accross the world.
-No Mic - Do you think they're stupid? if consumers that could be swayed to buy an iPhone don't because the iPod can do a passable job of phone calls, do you think they'd really mess it up?

More than anything else, the iPod Touch is a bridge to the iPhone. Its there to help get the world ready for the iPhone, not just those outside the US, but those within its walls too. If you've been using an iPod Touch for a year or more, and all of a sudden your old phone breaks down, there's a good chance your next phone could be the iPhone - you've already made yourself familiar with it.

Thats my 2 cents. Like iTunes is there to sell iPods, the Touch is there to sell iPhones.

I think some people are loosing sight of what the iPod Touch really is - a music player.

on the other hand... the "touch" is no longer just a music player, so expecting basic apps like "notes" and "mail" isn't unreasonable.

It has wifi and if the only use for it will be safari , the new music store and starbucks it will only encourage hacking and cause apple and its customers headaches.

Apple will have to release updates to break the hacks... people get frustrated because the updates reset their data.

Having "mail" will in no way affect the sales of iphones. not including notes is just ridiculous. If anything by not making such basic apps available they are only going to reduce the amount of ipod T's they sell... if they want to sell iphones then why release the "touch" ?

Apple wants to sell both, apple needs to address the needs of both sets of consumers.

You also need to keep in mind that the "touch" will be available world wide so the consumer base for it will be much larger than that of the iphone.

North, Central and South America, Europe (eastern and western), Asia, Australia, Africa and all the islands in between.
