Today my friend let me play with his iPod touch. Yes, I liked it at first. Its fun to play with, it looks good, all this smooth scrolling and such ... well.

I couldnt use it. I really, really had problems with the onscreen keyboard. Every other letter I typed was wrong, or I hit twice or whatever. Entering the password for my wireless router was a nightmare (hidden input field) - I gave up after 5 attempts and let my friend do it. (It took him almost a minute...)

I'm not saying the keyboard is bad. I know most people out there love it. It's just that my hands tremble a bit - not enough for you to notice when we meet, but too much to hit these tiny spots on the screen.

The browser was another disappointment. Yes, its very sexy. Absolutely. The way you can automatically resize it to column width, the easy zooming with 2 fingers. Great! The only problem is that you have to resize and zoom in and out all the time. It just never gets it right. Never. Not one single page.

Next thing I tried was the video playback. I started the video and - no sound? I looked at my friend (he's a real Apple type of guy, he buys literally everything they sell), he seems to have read the question from my eyes: "Yes, you may laugh now. There's no sound. We'd need earphones." - Well, actually, this isn't uncommon for multimedia devices, MP3 players etc. It's just that I got so used to this little detail in my 770 that I found it ridiculous that I couldn't watch the film without earphones if I wanted to.

So now finally I know for sure those devices (I take it the iPhone isnt different) are not for me. I hope Nokia never ever goes down that road. I want to type. I want to surf without zooming in and out all the time. Thank you, Nokia.
