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 :P  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 :)
