Apple iTouch: The definitive review
Apple's brand-new iTouch is a wonderful piece of equipment. The only problem is that the iTouch doesn't exist. What you're looking for is the iPod touch.
I absolutely love people asking me questions about technology, and even more I love being able to give them answers. But the other day I found myself getting increasingly annoyed with people asking me what I thought of Apple's iTouch. It's called the iPod touch, people, and I think it's terrific.
At a recent event, I must have explained eight or nine times over the course of two hours that, "the iTouch is actually called the iPod touch". I'd really like to nip this one in the bud before it becomes a commonly used term.
So if you're looking for a review of the iTouch, please pop over to the review of the iPod touch. That said, if you're looking for interactive mobile services, you might be looking for these guys.

Here in Canada (and through much of the United States, it IS being sold AND advertised as the "iTouch". With the release of the 64gb upgraded 3rd gen iTouch and iPhone this coming monday, it will be a rush to the stores

I think that anybody who gets wound up by the term iTouch is sad and childish. Do you get annoyed when people say TV instead of television, or phone instead of telephone? Of course you don't because people CAN and DO abbreviate. Get over it!

I keep a lot of data relating to photography and personal stuff like lists etc. in a binder The material runs 35 to 50 pages (5 1/2 " by 8 1/2") Will the iTouch hold this amount of data? It would be nice to consolidate the contents of the binder. Thanks for any response
