Did you find anything that looks good?  My iPod Touch had an unfortunate
run-in with a puddle of water, and now I'm looking for a replacement.
Wifi, a decent web browser, email client and maps application are the
general requirements.

In theory I would love a cool, pocketable Android device, but I don't know
that any of them are very good just yet.  The Nokia Maemo devices are also
kind of interesting, but I haven't had a chance to play with one in person.

You can get a 32 GB refurbed 3rd generation Touch for $250, so that's my
price point I guess.

Anyone have a suggestion?
