The Touches are all microphone-capable. In the most recent
generation, the larger capacity Touches come with Apple
earphones that have the built-in microphone, but the entry-level
8GB Touch comes with regular earphones. For my previous
generation Touch, I bought and use a microphone by Monster

Since I can't fit one into my budget--just into a pocket--I can make a
wishlist. I like the Panasonic Toughbook U1 for size, but it's heavy.
Something like that would be nice, but needs to be lighter. Itronix
GoBook® MR-1 is better, but not much
Thanks Betty ... I agree with you about small size being important for
road warrioring. And I think the small powerful ones have to weigh
more ... because they have more guts...
I am interested to know the how's and why's of your going with an iPod
Touch and a separate phone.
How come you
the Touch's screen keyboard seems a big liability to me. I have big
fingers and find the iPhone's keyboard laborious when I have used one.
Does the Touch have a microphone? If so the voice to text apps that are
popping up could suffice perhaps...

I was going to add, I think UMPC's have been overrun in the public market by
either netbooks or the iPod touch. I only see UMPC's in the workplace
replacing what would have gone to touchscreen notebooks. I'd examine what
you need this for and then see if the iPod touch can suit your needs.

Your bigger Walmart Superstores have had the 10 Acers in stock.

They are called Netbooks in that their primary function is to surf the net.
You can usually run Office, and simple stuff, but they would not be
suitable for some games and Video processing.
They do not have a CD/DVD, and you must use an external.

It depends on what you want to use it for. As a regular PC/Notebook
it would be a hassle.
My Bishop (Who is larger than I am) uses one all the time, loves it.
Now I would find it a little cramped, but at work I plug mine in and
