Yes, it’s true, my iPod Touch died! It will not connect reliably to the Internet anymore. I tried a couple of complete restores, but it’s no going, it’s definitely a hardware problem. Apple is sending me packing material to ship it off to California for repairs/replacement.
In the meantime my Asus Eee 900 will be trying valiantly to take it’s place. The 900 surfs the Web, handles email, plays media (it even runs Pandora!), runs applications, etc., but I just can’t figure out how I’m going to carry it in my shirt pocket like I do my iPod Touch.
If iPhones were more readily available, I might very well use this as an excuse to run out and buy one, but I’m pretty sure that my local AT&T store is out of stock and the nearest Apple Store is a 3-hour drive to Columbus, OH. Oh my, what a revolting development this is!

Ouch, that’s terrible! Maybe you can do some posts about what it’s like to go without it. Might give you a new appreciation for it!
