My wife has an iPod Touch. In my opinion, it's so different from a traditional iPod that it deserves a different name; what it's really competing with is the Nokia Internet Tablet. It's basically the best palmtop web browsing experience, bar none -- thanks to the multitouch interface: on paper the Gecko-based browser on the Nokia N810 ought to slaugher the webkit based browser on the lower-resolution iPod Touch, but in practice it's clunky to use and horribly cumbersome once you've tried the Touch.
Alas, the touch doesn't let you open file:/// URLs, else I'd have tried sticking some ebooks on it as web archives. Anyone know if there's an ebook reader applet for the iPod Touch/iPhone yet?
