I think you've got a good understanding of the options based on your comments above. And I agree. My only plus for picking up a TOUCH now, is that it is relatively easy to get a new one and relatively cheap (particularly for what it does). If you decide you wish you had a TOUCH a year from now it will either not be easily available or you might have to even pay a bit of a premium. But as you said, you can do everything you want now, so no action is really necessary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96578 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
