Over at lifehacker.com there is a exclusive interview with the creator of my favorite application for the mac, “Quicksilver”. They discuss the future of the application and how we loyal fans will not like the direction it is going. Read it all here.

I am very blessed and have nothing to complain about but I like to anyway. I pre-ordered an ipod touch and am so excited about finally being able to take my music, videos, pictures and the web with me in my pocket. It seems too good to be true. It’s just like the iPhone only without the 2 year contract and having to deal with at&t.

Then I realize that the mail application from the iphone is not included on the ipod touch. That just sucks. I’m sure apple just doesn’t want this product cannibalizing sales from the iPhone but come on I use mail more than any other application on my mac.

The perfect device would be an open iphone that didn’t require being stuck to a service provider. If you only wanted to use the wifi then that’s ok. Then you would have a phone, camera, email, great web browser, music, photos, videos, youtube. But we don’t have that so we either deal with at&t or…

We get the new ipod touch and live with the limitations of not being able to take pictures or send email. I’ve read that the ipod touch has the same hardware and operating system of the iphone so hypothetically you could take applications from the iphone and install them on the ipod touch (not that I am knowledgeable to do that). I’m sure people are working on that as we speak and as soon as the ipod touch starts showing up in peoples hands (sept 28) we will see it happen.

There may be relief in site for the mail less ipod touch but you still can’t take pictures and email them to a friend. Oh well…. I doubt I’d use that as much as it seems but it would be cool for mobloging.

All that said, I’m so very excited for my ipod touch it is the best ipod ever and capable of doing so many things very well. I am lucky just to have one pre-ordered, but not as lucky as I will be when I have it in my hot little hand.
