iPod touch... no email wtf

How do they NOT have mail on the fucking touch?! it would be the perfect PDA if it had mail. :zong:

I want to buy one so bad in hopes that they eventually release a firmware update that includes mail but i see no promise of that in the future :frowning:

Anyone heard of anything regarding mail coming to the iPod touch?

i agree that it pretty stupid.

im hoping that someone will crack it and allow some homebrew apps to start flyin, but thats an empty promise as well.

Supposedly it runs the same build of OS X as the iPhone and there are people already working on or have working copies of mail on itā€¦

thats what im hoping to hearā€¦ hopefully after the official release date people will hack the apps over. it seems like apple is tried REALLY hard to bastardize its PDa functionality to keep iPhone sales up :tdown:

AT&T has to be Pissed!

I was totally gonna get one but then i realizsed it didnt have email and then i realized its an ipod. fuck apple and their hipster faggot clents.

Thatā€™s one way to look at itā€¦another (fanboi) way is that itā€™s an iPod, not a PDA. Iā€™d be thrilled to just have wifi and a browser on my iPod.

i dont understand what peopld have a hard time getting why the IPOD doesnt have email/calender functionsā€¦

CUZ ITS AN IPODā€¦ its not a PDA, it is only an DMP

yes apple could have easily added itā€¦ but why overlap between that and the iphone

understand thisā€¦ uhhh lets see, im going to buy the ipod touch because it has wifi, it plays music the same as every other ipod, however it is way more money for less storage. what the fuck else am i going to do with my wifi than get email and calendar? im certainly not dieing to browse the web on a 3.5" screen :bloated:

Fucking word dude. that was the main reason i just blew off the touch after thinking about it. Other than ipods are for faggots, no offense to any ipod owners.

i agree youā€™re paying a lot more for the same music ultimately coming to your ears :stuck_out_tongue:

the touch is very cool, and is certainly to coolest mp3 player, however if it had email iā€™d already have one on orderā€¦ all iā€™m saying :stuck_out_tongue:

Flash memory increases the cost (and value, to some) as well.
