Well good luck to you and everyone else who has taken the plunge thus far
Ibrahim.  It's just not for me at this time, not for the sake of having a
new toy when I have other devices that work well and do the job as
efficiently.

Hi Jackie.

That's a fare enough comment to make.  I'm a little apprehensive about
getting my new IPhone if I'm being totally honest, I'm wondering if I'll be
able to get used to the touch interface and gestures this, but its a new way
of interacting with a device and I'm sure a very pleasant one given by all
the podcasts and reviews I've looked at.  As for downloading aps wirelessly,
you can do this with the IPhone as well as the IPod, in fact the storage is
the only thing that differs the two products at the higher end of the
spectrum.  In fact, the IPod Touch has an inferior camera and no GPS, so if
all your wanting to do is music and books etc, its a fine solution but I
want so much more from my device which is why I'm gunning for the IPhone.

All the best, Ibrahim.
