In the magnifying glass you will see that you can put the insertion point where you like. It does take a bit of time to get used to the iPod Touch :) Hi Simon

I often touch the wrong letter, and find the lack of navigation keys a pain. They would be useful to navigate back to mistakes, instead I think you have to delete letters all the way back to the incorrectly keyed letter - do you guys know something I don't??

I've now got into the way of always using my iPod Touch for taking notes at seminars and meetings. I only use pen and paper now when I'm having a one-on-one meeting. Best way for me to have a one-on-one meeting now is by iChat or Skype. Then I can just sit and type straight into my computer at home :) I'm quite interested in the upcoming tablet/netbook like thing that Apple are rumoured to be creating at the moment. I'm hoping they do a tablet-like thing myself. Hi Chris

The keyboard is very easy to type on once you get used to it, and unlike a physical keyboard, it is very easy on your fingers. I was a big security conference this week, and almost everyone one had a Blackberry device of one sort or another, and pen and paper. I just took notes in the Notepad, and by the end of the conference I was amazed at the amount of text I had written, and yes the main convenience is that you just email it to your self and it's already typed up ready for formatting into a report. Real progress, fewer trees felled, something nice in the pocket. What's not to like? So true.
