All Hail the iPod Touch... :-)
I have a Blackberry. I’m on it now and don’t have a computer. Would the ipod touch be of any benefit to me?
If it just had a camera, I would so be there and get a Mifi to be able to use it anywhere on Verizon.

Of course that depends on individuals and their own particular set of wishes and desires and requirements.
I would say to look over either the iPhone or the iPod Touch areas on Apple's website.
And then, get your hands directly on one and use it at the Apple Retail Store...

Most likely coming with the next upgrade... :-)
Also, go to the article link in post #3... :-)
I found a site called skinit.com, and ordered custom designed “skins” for the iPod Touch users in our family. You can upload a photo, or use one of their designs. Neat stuffing stocker.
On my touch I have:
A copy of the constitution,
A copy of the bill of rights,
The names and address of every Senator and Congressman, including email addresses, branch offices, phone numbers, both in DC and in each state, and a bobble head caricature of them.
and a ton of other stuff, but these are the political related stuff.
I have links to the VA medIcal as well as the VA web page.
Since I have no voice due to cancer, my touch talks to the world, ordering at restaurants and shopping for me.
I have 4 different weather links including my own at home.
I CAN DO WEATHER RADAR AND YOU TUBE.

If you had WiFi in your house, it could be. It's a way better browser than a Blackberry. But since you don't have a computer, why would you have WiFi? Wait a minute. If you don't have a computer, how do you FReep?
Sounds fantastic... I’m glad it’s working so well for you... :-)
I freep on my Blackberry. Very quickly and easily in fact. :o) I’m at a Dr. Appt now freeping. I’m addicted to my Crackberry.
Is there a 64G iPod touch yet? I’ve been waiting for one.
I have the I-touch and my wife has an I-phone. By choice I make and receive few phone calls and rely more on e-mail so I have no real need for more than a minimalist prepaid cell phone. With free wi-fi available just about everywhere, my I-touch works just fine for me and no big wireless bill each month. I even use my touch as a digital book reader and the applications are fantastic. On a recent flight to Australia all I needed was my I-touch and some noise canceling headphones.
But no, if you have no WiFi, and no computer, I don't see an iPod doing much for you. I have close to 3K songs on my iPhone. I couldn't imagine putting that much music on it via iTunes, and you couldn't do that without WiFi or 3G. I did it the old fashioned way. I ripped my CD's to HDD and then transfered to iPhone via the laptop.
I think I've bought exactly one song via iTunes. And maybe two applications. All the other were free ones.
Great, thanks. My next purchase.
I like my Zune HD.
Well “cheers” [lifts glass up high...] — here’s to some people’s personal tastes... :-)
