[...] The good news was that Apple was running a student promotion in which you received a free iPod if you purchased a new MacBook. Since my wife is a student, she was kind enough to “buy” the MacBook for me so I could get the new the iPod Touch, which I had was salivating over for months. [...]

Jay,

I guess I should have waited. Then, I could have taken advantage of the student discount and got a newer iPod.

I wonder why you waited so long too…since the iPod touch got updated today!

actually, you can ‘jailbreak’ your iTouch and get Skype or another VOIP solution working, and YES, there’s also a microphone hack. actually, there’s more than one. Google is your friend. one place to start is touchmods.wordpress.com, but there are other sites with alternate solutions and details. did Apple really think that someone - or several someone’s - wouldn’t find a way to soup up the Touch?

I agree with Nav. That is why I want an iPhone (but will wait for one with a better camera and more storage).

I’d disagree. To me, the reason I’m so excited about my recently purchased iPhone is precisely that I never have to worry about finding wi-fi - whether I’m on the bus, walking down the street or in a store (like the LCBO, where I can look at wines I’ve noted down in Evernote) I’m always connected. The point, to me anyway, is that I have constant access not only to ‘the Web’ but to all my information floating around in the cloud. I think the Touch is great but I don’t think that wi-fi can replace the ubiquity of cellular coverage.

Still, I’m interested to hear your thoughts on why mobile is being over-hyped.

Someone did make a mic for the touch. TUAW had it on their site like 6 months ago.
