I Pod Touch

[kramerjm-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w at public.gmane.org (James Kramer)]

The Ipod touch  is nice but Apple works hard to make it unfriendly to
Linux.  What do they fear?  The N810 looks really interesting and is in the
ballpark of what I had in mind.  I was hoping for an Android touch, but they
are not quite up to speed.  I ended up purchasing a really neat salt water
aquarium for my daughter.  She wants a pet, but we rent our apartment and
the owners are pet challanged, so the aquarium is a good choice.
