I just had a very interesting (and a little stressful) adventure in gadgetry ,  a couple of nights ago my MacBook Pro took a turn for the worse and the keyboard cut out.  I was left at 1am in the morning unable to login, and so first thing in the morning I dropped it off at the Apple Store to get it fixed - walking out I was suddenly left wondering how I was going to work the next day or two for the stream of calls and meetings.  Then I remembered,  I had just purchased an iPod Touch

Ok I certainly don’t think anyone would think the iPod Touch is a business machine - but I have to admit after two days (both fairly busy) I was able to use it to keep myself going - I had my calendar,  work and personal e-mail.  I was able to use Meebo to get on Yahoo and Google Talk and all of this while listening to music  I think the highlight was walking through the configuration of my Linksys Router over my iPod Touch to get a VOIP phone working.  While it was impressive,   I have to admit returning to a real keyboards makes a world of difference - as does having the ability to edit a document (though I was amazed at how many file formats the Mail app handled - and also the power of the browser).  

The real pain points though were the lack of a real messenger - Meebo would kick me out all the time and also the difficulties I had switching in and out of applications.   All in all - it was an adventure - but, call me old fashioned, nothing beats a full size keyboard
