We see the iPod touch as a pretty major turning point for Apple's iPod line. For years technology enthusiasts pondered the possibility of an Apple-made widescreen, WiFi-enabled portable media device, and they finally did just that -- even throwing in a few things that, prior to the iPhone, we...

I bought my iPod Touch primarily as a music player but it has since turned into my PDA. I play games on it, surf the web, keep notes, play videos amongst loads of other things. Since the App Store launched, the iPod Touch and iPhone have pretty much blown the competition out of the water. I use...
