Touch Me Baby (part II)

08:02PM by Jim Frost

Yesterday I went through some of my history with PDAs, a long-winded way of getting to the point of all of this: How does an iPod Touch do as a PDA?  Prior to mid-January Apple crippled or omitted entirely all of the PDA functions, presumably to keep it from cannibalizing the cash-cow iPhone.  Thankfully they came to their senses and put them back, although early adopters had to pay about $20 for them, which seems kind of rude to me but is apparently becoming par for the course for Apple.

So, the Touch is now a full sibling to the iPhone.  How does its PDA functionality stand up to use in the real world?
