Have anyone tried this application?
I've been looking at an iPod Touch mostly for using it as a PDA, and what a wonderfully usable and instantly responsive interface it has. So neat! I hate my Dell X51 with Windows Mobile 5 - sluggish and complicated - #X&?%€!! I've never gotten the sync to work well, and neither the WiFi. And as my main computer is an iMac, a Touch would fit right in.
This app seems to make it easier to transfer e.g. pdf files - and I guess that would also make it easier to view them?
I'm happy with my Cybook for most of my reading, but if I'm buying a PDA like device, I'd also want it to display ebooks, at least as html and pdf. More formats is better, but I can live with this. the Cybook is restricted, too, since it still can't handle html tables - turns out to be a big deal with the html files with the fan fics I save to my disk. So I have to reformat a lot anyway.
Oh..., any thoughts on size? It's supposed to be my PDA (calendar, lists and notes, contacts, etc.), first and foremost, then reader, film viewer and sometimes music player, not my regular music player (my nano fits my pocket fine when bicycling). I recently brought my PDA on a 3 week holiday - and brought along about 8 GB worth of books, music and films. Seemed more than enough space - I had difficulties filling it out. And did I use it? Nah... Three weeks of exciting experiences in the Andes (Chile, Bolivia and Peru) and I had no need or energy at all for any other entertainment
However, it might be nice to have 16 GB, but why? I'm guessing that in 1 1/2 - 2 years we'll have 3G iPhones in Denmark, too, and then I'll want to get one of those. Is it worth the extra cost then? I'll find out what I want, but it would be interesting to hear your opinion.
