I was thinking the same thing myself for college next year. If you're considering getting an iTouch, I would recommend purchasing a *new* one through Craigslist or Ebay for a significantly discounted price (1/3 off). I bought mine a few days ago and it is definitely worth the money I paid for it---practically a computer in my pocket. Also, with the *legal* further development of third-party apps in the upcoming iPhone 2.0 software, you should be able to VoIP (Skype or Gtalk) as well using a Bluetooth headset. Excellent insight!

The main campus is 2 hours away but there are two local campuses that I attended. One in my hometown and one in the next city (1 hour away). I don't feel my education has been stunted because of this decision. I feel that in the first two years of college it is more important to get the feel of college and the personal experience of smaller classrooms. Our class ratio was on average about 1 teacher to 20 students. I've had classes that were tele-courses involving more than 50 students and I've had classes where by the end of the semester there were only a half dozen students left in the class. It's all about how you learn the easiest. Often in larger classes you can be lost in the shuffle. I will be attending a larger college this coming fall. Tennessee Tech University. I'm a little apprehensive but I can't wait to start. It's a new environment but because of the skills and habits I attained in the smaller college, I feel confident in my abilities as a student. Plus it saved me A LOT of money. I went to a small branch of a large community college. The main campus is 2 hours away but there are two local campuses that I attended.

Ya the portability of laptop. I am actually saving up for one. Probably the Sony VAIO TZ, because of its small size. I’d like something just for writing blog post.

I'm much happier using a laptop as I game a lot less than I used to and I love the portability. I have an external monitor and use both displays (highly recommended) and a beefy set of external speakers. My biggest annoyance is the lack of a dock and the locations of certain connections.

And I really do not think it is worth the price. If you get it you are spending the extra money for the "toughness" and not for the hardware. Now if you knew you were going to the rainforest to do some field research, it appears to be the product you would want to buy. @Burst
