Apple today announced their new internet tablet device. The iTouch
The simularities with the N800 beg the question as to which is better.

It comes with the Safari browser and a YouTube viewer.
It also comes with 16gigs memory

Who is going to get one? Is it an N800 killer?
this may be the device I wanted the N800 to be.
discuss among yourselves..

First of all, its not the iTouch... its the iPod Touch.

Second... its not the N800 killer by any means.

It will never have VoIP... it will never have video.

At least not in this iteration.

So... buy one and add it to your arsenal.

What the hell are you talking about it not having video?

It's a sexy bit of Apple design, naturally.

But I'll take my more powerful n800, thank you. I don't spend my days in Starbucks buying Apple's overpriced DRM-poisoned music while watching YouTube videos of extreme BMXers somersaulting into a river. So I'm really not the target customer.

Miss Teen North Carolina and other "USA Americans" will want one, I'm sure. ;-)

If the surfing at 480 is reasonable, it might be the killer for me.

I would hardly call Apple an 800 pound anything. If anything else, they're the 110 pound cult leader trying to take people to Heaven's Gate.

Oh.... my bad.... I guess I missed the part where the iPod Touch had a video camera.

...and it works as well as the N800's on a Skype call.

It's worth noting that the Starbucks support for the Touch is taking place in stages, over the next 6-9 months and so far only seems to cover about 5 cities/conurbations in the USA:

After its debut in New York and Seattle on October 2, the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store will continue its national rollout to 350 Starbucks stores in the San Francisco Bay area on November 7; 500 stores in Los Angeles in early February 2008; 300 stores in Chicago in March 2008; and additional markets throughout the US later in 2008.
So, pretty limited US-only support for a significantly hyped feature of the new Touch, so limited in fact that it renders it even more pointless for those of us outside the USA... and to be honest, it's not even going to be available to most people within the USA!
