I've been playing with my new iTouch for the past week or so - coming from a Palm TX and a 60-gig iPod "Classic". Sheesh!.... everything they say about Apple being the shiznit UI-wise is true IMHO. The UI on this thing is soooooo intuitive and soooo functional. No question in my mind that the Palm is still better for tightly-focused functionality like Calendaring and Contacts.... but now that I've gotten a taste of the iTouch's integration of Contacts, Skype, Mapping, and so-forth I have stopped looking back. -- PeteCresswell
