I thought the N810s keyboard was great, and I wouldn't settle with anything less. If I could type just as fast on the iPod Touch, I would have taken it right back to the store, fortunately they did a great job engineering the keyboard and it works just as well as the N810's.
Are you kidding me?
One of the most amazing features of the iPod and iPhone is the onscreen keyboard. The iTouch keyboard figures out your next key-press and actually enlarges the active area of the next logical letter. Its one of the most impressive onscreen keyboards out there. It behaves very differently as well, allowing you to hold one finger on the character key then slide over to the symbol in one swift stroke. You can talk about many things that the N810/N800 might do better but Apple's onscreen keyboard is practically genius. Look up some of the speed comparisons and it beats out much larger UMPC's in some cases.
Please please, try to be informed before ranting

Who wants to have to get out a little pencil to tap tiny icons on their screen? The whole UI is designed with a stylus in mind making it cramped and generally ugly. Apple had to innovate and test its UI design a lot to make the entire thing not only as effectively navigable than a UI designed with a stylus in mind, but better.
Not to mention, the apple screen is multi-touch capable and they've done some nifty things with it to enrich the UI.
I hope this is something that the future NITs will be able to copy and capitalize on.

Last I checked, this was an open forum though...and as such, people can post about whatever they please. Honestly, I felt the OP's comments were well thought out and for once based on personal experience with both devices.
I don't know how many responses and criticisms I read about Apple's device from people who haven't even used them.
I for one appreciate a post like this and feel that it didn't have to turn into a comparison thread. It's the people who respond to it taking it personal that turn it into one.

it comes down to patents. the world is ruined by software and some hardware patents. The benefit of this is we don't have clones, but as they say, no human is alike, thus no device is alike anyways so its not very useful in the first place.
Patents on software is dreadful to say at the least.

Ipod are world known for dead batteries. Thats why every store in the US sells battery kits. they dont sell Hard drive kits only battery kits.
Here are 2 stores incase you dont know about the bad batts.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1183160884953
http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Ultra...oductDetail.do
and these prices have dropped from 60$+ because itouch came out.
Apple like Sony always sells top end stuff and misses out on core things to profit them self. Kind a dumb.
Itouch is real cool untill you run out of room

COME on this is worts then Puff daddy.!!!
LOL
I just want to make this clear itouch is cool but like always miss a few key componets.
Removiable media. Price$$$
Also remeber that these cool features only came out after they did not sell that well.
SDK kit came out after they lost $$$
32GB vs after they did not sell the crappy 8GB and it cost 500$.
8 GB cost 40$ comeon.
I hope this is something that the future NITs will be able to copy and capitalize on.
