I love apple
Feature wise what I really want is an iPhone without the phone part. The aspects I truly enjoyed about the device were the internet connectedness (though it needs a better email story than POP...read state synch is a killer feature) and the large touch screen interface for media (the flip cover UX finally was *useful* not just pretty and video looked great / was a great time killer). Oh, and it really does need 3G because the edge data rate was way to slow when there was no free wifi to tap into. I'd gladly pay 20 bucks a month for the data service for the device (though please make it tether then). If they throw in GPS it would rock my world as the ultimate iDevice.
All joking aside, this is just too sweet:
I am going to get the 16 gig touch as soon as it hits the stores. First (software) feature requests (without even playing with it):
- Can I auto submit my starbucks coffee order when I walk in with an iDevice?
- Even better, can I link my starbucks card to my iDevice to autopay as well?
- Unclear if this is there, but can I get auto-synch to iDevice via WiFi for podcasts & new iTunes purchases from my pc?
The list of hardware requests is going to be bigger...but I'll hold off on that until I get my little paws on the thing.
