because punctuation really matters on the internet. apple just came out with the iphone. its pretty cool you should check it out.
And the milieu shouldn't matter. Expert communication skills are valued anywhere.

If one can't communicate properly then one can be expected to be mowing my fcuking lawn forever.

Another site I'm a member of bans people after a couple warnings for this. We do take into account obvious non-english speaking folks.

so the whole thing is illegible because its missing a single word? go upstairs and ask your mom to decipher it for you.
Did you meant to say 'cant' [Insincere expression of sentiments. To speak in jargon. An oblique surface. To cause something to be at an oblique angle] , or perhaps the capitalised version : Cant . Perhaps you meant to say can't [Contracted version of can not] or possibly you intended to say Can't . As to what you intended to say next , with the missing word , is difficult to decode , given the ambiguity of your opening statement .
Next time you need to write some HTML , some C++ or ( worse ) machine code , try missing one item of punctuation , altering some capitalisation or misspelling a single command and you will soon see the importance of 'Getting it right when you write' . Even the internet needs good punctuation .

(well, you're assumption would have been correct if you mentioned action script and html). but seriously. take that stylus pen out of your *** and lighten up son.

Wow. What hostility from all here. I hope this isn't the general trend of these forums. Anyway. I think the iPod touch looks very modern and I do think its sleek and sexy. But at its price point for what you get, I don't think its very worth it. I'm sure many would disagree. But I've always found the iPods to be very flimsy and the iPods battery lifespan leaved a lot to be desired. The great thing about the iPod is that it got the attention of the hardware developers back on design along with technology, something that was lacking until Apple stepped into the limelight. So my view is that the Touch is another great design and a good refabrication of the iPhone, but I look forward to what others will come up with.

I partially agree with you, but I think the ipod touch (if its going for under 300) is great for what you get (media center + internet on the go). I don't think I would pay that much for a 4 gig iphone though.
When I was last in PCWorld, I was fiddling with the display 800 (which was hard as the battery was dead and it was unplugged and shoved out of the way so it kept resetting), and a guy came over watching. He asked if it was a phone, I said no, he thanked me and walked off.
I have never been asked what an iPod was!
