If I had read Apple’s features guide on the iPod Touch, which, by the way, goes on for 85 pages, I wouldn’t be so hasty to recommend to friends outside the U.S. to wait for iPhone and resist, hard as it is, iPod Touch. Anyway, you get the same PMP features (essentially) with something extra we call wireless telephony for the same price or thereabouts. After skimming reading through the Touch’s 85-page manual, I have totally turned a one-eighty and professed my faith, or, at least, my fancy, to the one and only Jesus-device… the iPod Touch. For starters, the iPod Touch is gifted not just with a virtual QWERTY keyboard but also with QWERTZ, AZERTY, QZERTY as well as Japanese IME. Two of the virtual keyboards can also appear simultaneously, if that seems useful for you. There is a special icon to quickly switch between keyboards. Double-tapping makes a period when you type, a much needed refinement for grammarians and the text-unsavvy. Sure, iPhone will soon see such improvements, but for the time-being these features are native to the iPod Touch.
