At least that’s what I want it to be now that there is an SDK coming. What I’d like to see in the future is the ability to do what I do on my MBP on my iTouch. So far, to have that happen I’ll need:
- a VoodooPad app (I sent Gus a message asking to be a beta tester :)
- a PDF reader with local storage
Looks like that’s it for now. Wow, seems like I don’t do much on my Mac. :)
iPhone/iPod Touch Application SDK!!!!
From the Apple Hot News Section:
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developersÂ’ hands in February.
It requires a WiFi connection, but all you have to do it bookmark the xml feed of the podcast and then you can listen to any of them on-demand.
It’s sure not ideal, but it sort of works.
So, there are rumors swirling again about the New Newton and I’d love to see it.
Bearing in mind that I’ve only had 2 days with iPod Touch, I can see the value in a larger version of the Touch positioned as a tablet/pda/whatever.
Most of the missing features I’d like to see are PDA-like, note taking, calendar stuff, email.
I know I’d have to seriously consider a tablet sized Touch if it appeared.
My iPod Touch showed up.
Utter hotness.
Gmail works well, Google Calendar and Meebo. WiFi has worked well so far.
I’ll post pictures tonight.
[Update]
I’d like a few things on the iPod Touch:
- RSS Reader
- Maps Widget
- Google Calendar integration
- Note taking application
- Gestures!
My pre-order has yet to ship and I have a few concerns with Touch.
1) Lack of Mail application (gmail on the web may work instead)
2) No Google Maps application (google maps on the web may work, but goofy in comparison)
3) Inability to add Calendar events (seems like such an odd thing to not include)
My hope is that Apple will add these in future updates to the firmware.
I’d like to know the reasons for these decisions, but I’ll never know.
