No. I realised the only reason I wanted an iPhone/iPod Touch this week - the *only* reason - is for a job next week where the client wants me to do audioboos. Otherwise, I've been saving up for an N900. I'll find another way around the live audio posting. The Audioboo iPhone app is an elegant solution, but there must be other ways.
Nokia rumors are that they will come out with a competing device to the iPad next year, running Maemo. No prizes for guessing which I'll be buying. I think these devices will change the way we read books, newspapers, magazines and watch films. If the big media companies have any sense, they're wetting their pants in anticipation of proper multifunction media players and e-readers. Small independent media companies should be doing the same.
