Touched

Frank@OBOW in Tech for travel

I’ve been touched recently — not by a Parisian pickpocket, or all the Forum activity (though it has been entertaining). No, I’ve been iPod Touched. This is my mobile device mea culpa. I love the thing, though I wrote disparagingly of it just a couple of months ago. All it took was one long, bad-weather, indoor weekend with it and I was hooked. The Touch has also reduced my blogging. Many mornings and evenings I don’t even fire up the netbook; the Touch is just quicker for e-mail and headline browsing. To be honest, I’ve had other things that kept me away from the site, but the Touch played a part. I’ll try to do better.

This has become a truly interactive site, which his how I always wanted it. Thanks to everyone that contributes! OBOW readers are kind and helpful to one another. Of how many sites can you say that?

Here’s a great armchair travel use for the Touch: set all your favorite travel destinations in the built-in weather app. Browsing the current conditions in these places takes you there. Want to know what it’s doing in Holmfirth, Melchtal, or Nice? Just ask me, I can always tell you.
