Feel like I'm cheating.
 

I'm typing this on my new iPod Touch feel like i'm cheating on my tablet

Re: Feel like I'm cheating.
 

Hi,

I kinda had the same feeling when I got mine a few months back too.

Found thought that I am using both for different things.

Still use my N800 for book reading, comics, pdf viewing, occasional movies, and even the infrequent internet browsing too.

The Touch has replaced what I used my Axim, which I traded for the Touch, for as far as a traditional pda.

Also makes for some great game play that never was part of the equation with the N800.

I say, enjoy both of them as they are both great devices, in their own way.

I do.

That's OK, I am reading your post on a desktop with a 20 inch monitor!

you earn my deepest respect for being able to type at all on that device.

i tried and failed.

:D

Its a great device, but they really are two different user experiences. I had an iPhone for a little bit and I thought it was ok and the UI was so simple a monkey could use it, but the N810 was just far better suited to the tasks of being a laptop replacement and my n75 at the time was a better phone.

I could probably find use for an ipod touch as a gaming and music player.

lol. Nah, don't feel like you're cheating. Each has their own uses just like harpgliss said. Heck, I've got two nits (yes, two), and two other mp3 players (both sandisk) and each has a different use. So don't feel all that bad. It's really a good thing surprisingly enough.

By great you probably mean the rounded corners which is the only difference with Mozilla?

It's OK, your tablet understands. Before I moved out of the US I was using a blackberry storm to do a lot of stuff I had been using my n800 for. But it looks like my tablet won out the battle in the long haul.

I spent way too much trying to figure out what my needs were. I have a 770, an N810, an EEE PC, and a Samsung U740 flip phone.

The 770 was a novelty because it hadn't been done like that before.

The N810 has barely ever been used (anyone in Toronto want to buy it, it's in brand new condition w/box and all accessories) because 3 generations in scrolling through web pages is still chunky and unbearable most of the time.

The EEE PC was pretty cool for it's portability and being able to sit at a coffee shop or on the balcony and get some decent browsing (I admittedly put Ubuntu on it).

The U740 was a nightmare becase Bell Canada nerfed the permissions and wouldn't let you make actual use of the $15/mo data plan by using internet apps in landscape mode (landscape mode uses the qwerty keyboard, otherwise it's a 10 minute endeavour to type www.google.com). I bought out the contract, stripped down my home phone service (also with Bell) and essentially told them to f*** off.

I got an iPhone. I'll admit it. I hate Apple. I put a piece of black electrical tape over the shiny Apple logo on the back. But I got reasonable rates and something neat on top of it. I can actually browse websites with some measure of speed. Not all of them, but I also realized I'm either mobile or not. I'm never going to stand somewhere and need a site that uses flash for critical elements. It's usually cnn.com's mobile site or something along those lines. When I'm not mobile, that's when I can use my laptop (bought after the EEE PC). I'm satisfied.

I think Apple is ******ed in the hoops they lay out for people to jump through but the overall experience has been better. While I always disagreed that the tablets should have a cellular radio in them, I've changed my mind. It just shouldn't ridiculously inflate the price, ie I could buy one and use as a disconnected tablet if I felt like it without having to sign up for a hellish contract and crappy data rates. Either way, the speed is still something that I'm not completely happy with.

i've done ALL my typing (save for the ordering of my 810) over the past month on a playstation portable (too new to be hacked :()

now THATS rough (imo)

its like texting on a one-buttoned cell phone :-/

Re: Feel like I'm cheating.
 

I've been considering an iPhone, but the monthly plan (59.99 a month! :eek:) and the fact that I can't do background apps is bad.

Though if I do get one I think I'll wind up carrying both my tablet and my iPhone and do some tethering. :D
