iPod touch complete?

When the iPhone first came out, I couldn't wait for a version that was just an iPod, (basically an iPhone without the phone), but was disappointed with the iPod touch as more than just the phone was stripped out. For me, it was missing a few critical features that would justify this replacing my old PDA.

But Apple finally fixed a major one last week with the announcement of the 1.1.2 firmware version. However, catching up on iPod touch developments, some folks had been using a 'jailbreak', which allows them to install their own fixes and third-party applications, including the ability to add or edit appointments which was one of the main concerns that I had that were address by the 1.1.2 firmware.

So do I do the jailbreak or have faith in Apple that more functionality will get added to the iPod touch?

Raine Maida - Yellow Brick Road

The OLP frontman goes solo and for the video of the leadoff single, he goes busking in tdot to raise $30 grand for a school in the DRC. Youtube hosts a bunch of other clips caught by the public as well.



A very worthy cause indeed. He and his wife, Chantal Kreviazuk, have been great for War Child.

PS. This is my hundredth posting on my blog and have just started to link it to my facebook as well. It's been a while in between posts, but I had to move my server around the house and have finally put it behind the router.
