iPod Touch - almost a PDA

After jailbreaked my iPod Touch, I managed to turn it into a powerful PDA. Here’s a list of applications on my iPod Touch.

Original Apps:

Safari, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, YouTube, Weather, Stock, iTunes …

Apps installed after

weDict, Wiki2Touch, Apache, Mobile Finder, Books, iLM, Converter …

So it turns out that I could use my iPod to 

listen music, watch video, browse photos, look up words in dictionary and wikipedia, read books, manager calendars and contacts as well as documents, convert units, find some place on Google map and of course much more.

And when I was connect to the WiFi network, I could do even more,

Surf the internet, send and receive mails, watch videos on YouTube, buy music from iTunes store, look up more places on Google map and much more.

Now I know why Jobs so eager to terminate the Newton project. When you have a iPod Touch/iPhone, why you need a PDA?
