The iPod touch is damn cool and does almost everything the iPhone does, bar taking photos and making calls, iCal absolutely syncs with the mac, just like the iphone does, and if you use “mobileme” then it syncs through the air, which is nice.
Notebook never synced (sank?) but thanks to the app store, there are a slew of alternatives for notes, like evernote, or jott, and they sync with the internet or “cloud” and your mac can then sync with the cloud too.
I had thought the mac comes with a 16gb iPod touch, isn’t the rebate good for $299???
