Awaiting the iPod Touch
Of course by now you know that Apple introduced a refresh to its iPod line and in that announcement, the also introduced the iPod Touch. I can hardly wait for this device to arrive! I didn't want to write anything about the iPod Touch until I'd actually received it, because I like to be able to give firsthand info about the tech I write about, and not just regurgitate the news. And rest assured, I will do a detailed post on the iPod Touch when I receive it at the end of September / start of October.
But I thought I'd would post a thought about one application I am really looking forward to using on my iPod Touch, an application that hasn't appeared anywhere in the demos or other press releases. I'm looking forward to being able to use Typepad, the tool I use for posting my blog. I read with interest the details this morning as I was working on some posts-in-progress.
I have a small Typepad app on my HTC smartphone that I've used from time-to-time, but I find it to be a very bare-bones, lackluster application that misses key functionality for me. 
The Typepad interface for the iPhone looks gorgeous, but more than that, it looks very functional. It allows me to manage my blog and not just put out posts. I like that a lot. I have found that the Typepad application I use on my HTC is more like a simple text editor, while the one for the iPhone give a much richer end-user experience to make posting blog items as natural as when sitting down at your computer. Of course, to use this on an iPod Touch, you'd need to be leveraging the WiFi rather than being to type up a post and then simply push it out. But the reality for me is that I'm always around WiFi enabled locations, from my home, to coffee shops to being up at the cottage, so I don't see this as being an issue. I think being able to simply turn my iPod Touch on its side, have the screen automatically go into landscape mode and begin typing posts will be an absolute joy!
And so, of course there will be many many things for me to like about the new iPod Touch, but knowing I can blog easily from it is the icing on the cake for me. The sad part is....the end of September seems so far away.
Stay tuned for more!
I want an ipod touch too, I'm definitely going to get one. I'd been holding off on getting an iPhone due to the price, and because I'm in Canada, but the wifi on the ipod touch won me over. The built-in iTunes should be nice too. Now I just have to sell of my 80gb...

I think iPhone has been launched with some amazing features with too expensive rates as well......
