Maybe the newer iPods have better notes functionality.
I just replaced my aging palm pilot with an ipod touch... I got tired of waiting for a 3G version of the iphone and wanted at least 16GB. It turns out that the ipod touch with the current version of firmware (v1.1.1) can be made "3rd party app" friendly due to a bug in safari. (see http://www.ipodtouchhacks.com/ipod/touch/hacks/jailbreak/ for more info). Of course, this may not last for long given that it is reported that apple is making a v1.1.2 firmware upgrade that patches the hole in safari. One 3rd party app is an ebook reader ("Books.app" see http://code.google.com/p/iphoneebooks/) which can be easily installed using the "installer.app". Also available via "installer" is the Book of Mormon ebook. The native ebook app runs very quick and works well with the ipod touch/iphone UI, IMO. It works much better than "plucker" I used on the palm pilot. In short, the ipod touch makes a great ebook reader. Hope this helps, -stacey. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
