is a decent journalist (so far). if I read any apple posts from that idiot nick its so coloured with his own distain for anything apple related its like reading the rantings of a semi coherant Microsoft employee

I think you meant to say "Touch users will have to cough up $9.95, which seems quite UNreasonable for all those extra bells and whistles when iPhone users got them all for free".

There's a bit too much "I told you so" in this article. I mean really, EVERYONE was *hoping* to see these new features, and the only thing that's remarkable about it is that after 2 years of complaining Apple actually listened to it's customers.

So the Ithingy is finally getting towards the standard of Sony Ericsson/Nokia/Samsung/Motorola "multimedia" mobiles that were released 3 years ago. It's still way too damn expensive though...and still missing a keypad :-p
