I finally broke down (after having purchased an iPod for my wife earlier this year) and bought my own iPod last week… and no I didn’t buy the iPhone, but yes I did buy the Touch (iPhone without the phone). I like it, it works great (except Safari tends to crash quite a bit), and I can’t wait for Steve Jobs to drop the price so that even I can complain and get my entitlement. 
I doubt that I will be blogging from the iPod (technically, I can, but typing is NOT fun on it), but at least I can listen to my favorite tunes and books.
Speaking of books, I’m currently reading “Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty” [1], the story of Muhammad Yunus [2], Nobel Peace Prize winner and founder of Gremeen Bank [3], and his work introducing Micro-lending to third-world countries as a tool to fighting poverty (as the title implies). I’m 1/3 of the way through (on audio, from Audible.com [4]), and am finding it quite fascinating. Those of you that recognize my interest in Kiva.org [5] will understand my interest in this (see previous article [6]).
