WinMo-powered iCEphone comes to life, looks scary {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 12th 2009 5:18PM Obviously the phone is a bit quirky. What I do like is that it explores ways to work with a small form factor. Considering being able to switch between a keyboard and that game style controller and still keep the thin profile is kind of cool.
Going with Hans, it did remind me of the time Homer Simpson designed that car.

I have to agree with one totoro. I have two older ipods, an n800, a Zune, and the Touch. I really like the n800 with Skype. However, it's just a little large. I actually liked my Zune. However, what annoyed me with the Zune was the hassle of uplaoding video and the way that stupid marketplace worked with not accepting real dollars.
I agree with the essence of the article. However, there are three things that really annoy me about the Touch. As totoro stated, you really can't use it by Touch like you would with a different MP3 player because you have to unlock it and then look for the controls.
The fast forward function really sucks if you have a longer podcast (over an hour) because there's no way to get to a precise part of the track. The slide is too small.
There should be a one button option to turn the wifi on and off. You have to go to settings to do so. I'm always sliding the wifi on and off to save on the battery when I don't use it.
What would be ideal is a Touch with some hardware controls and the ability to add Skype or another service like it.
