Third-party apps for composing tunes, games, papers and magazines and books, all kinds of cool stuff, but IMHO they just didn't really sell it very well (excluding the books). It looks kind of not finished Alot of bloggers aren’t very pleased with the new iPad.There was just too much hype about it and alot people got turned off.Quite frankly, I actually see some of the awesome potential of the gizmo.

It is a device that does so many things. Nothing is so important that it can't wait to be delivered on reaching the next access point. If your phone has wifi you can connect to it to use your cellular data service through your iPod. No, actually. It is a device that does so many things.

Other than paying for the upgraded firmware, I haven't yet picked up any paid apps...even though some are really enticing at their $0.99 tag but when a free alternative is available, I've just gone for that. My son is awaiting his 32 GB iPod as his post-class VIII exam gift and he can't wait to play FIFA 09 on it -- he'd been longing to buy a PSP but after much mulling decided to go for Touch instead. I expect him to pick up a handful of paid games and it sure helps that several games are cheaper for Touch than for his PS2. You being a techie (CS student makes you a geek :) don't you find it a nuisance to use a wifi dependent device when wifi enabled public places in our country can be counted on our fingertips?

I can forget my mobile phone but not my touch. And the low prices of paid apps makes it very difficult to go by without buying them. All gaps are fille by the app store. And while it might be a pain for devs to get used to it, the end user loves the store. Some of the apps, I as a user love, are Things, Tweetie, Remote for Keynote. For the stuff they do, they could be priced at least ten times more. I love the integrated Microsoft Exchange support that let's you sync one of your google accounts with your device. Contacts and calendar changed reflected over the air on all devices used to access them. My touch has always been a great computing device in addition to being a great iPod.
