My brother is looking for a PDA so i wonder if this would be a good option for him at this point, after the recent upgrade the iTouch has become more interesting and useful, so let me ask you if in real life the iTouch can...
- Synchronization with Outlook or Windows. I know the answer is probably not, but i have to ask, he is a PC user and won't get a Mac in the near future, i know he can live without PIM synchronization but it would be a plus.
- eBooks, PDFs, DOCs... I understand that it can read now PDF and DOC from email attachments, but what about ebooks? can you transfer a PDF and open it without Safari or Mail being involved? is there an actual PDF/ebook reader application?
- Maps. Can you use Maps offline? maybe download/record/save a route to use without internet connection?
- Mass Storage. Can it be used as a mass storage device? (USB stick like)
Thanks for your answers!
