PureMobile sent us in a 16GB iPod Touch for the purposes of this article. This is one of the few times an - essentially - mp3 player comes with a powerful operating system (other examples include the Linux-based Archos and Sandisk offers). Read on for more.

was waiting for. I could care less about video and web surfing, the thought of trying to watch a movie on a 2" screen while squinting for two hours isn't all that appealing.
The screen is 3.5". Also there is no 'squinting' involved. You just hold it at a comfortable distance from the face and it's no different to watching a bigger screen farther away. What is important is the angle subtended at the eye and the resolution, not the size of the screen (there are limits to this, of course).

Forget the overpriced iPhone....THIS is the device I was waiting for. I could care less about video and web surfing, the thought of trying to watch a movie on a 2" screen while squinting for two hours isn't all that appealing. All I want is an excellent sounding, easy to manage/use ipod for music to replace my 3G ipod. I know there are other manufacturer's devices for cheaper, but let's be honest. The iPod is king, everyone else is an imitator. Why settle for less?
I do have one question. It would seem that this is entirely flash based. If that's the case, then, I should probably wait until at least a 20GB version gets released to buy one.
