Yes. Although I'm out of work and about to have the family home repossessed, I bought a £10 shirt that cost 25p less. The saving was so great, I splashed out and bought two. - Andy C
Tell me about it, posters are everywhere, price differences are non-existant. - Matt Harwood
Andy, you serious? Hope not! It is ridiculous to be honest, £25 in every grand. Big woop. - Matt Harwood
Sorry, no. Fortunately I have not lost my job or facing repossession but those are the people who need help. Encouraging them to spend more seems perverse and half the reason we're in this mess. - Andy C
Pogue also posted an update about reader response (can't paste the link from my iPhone...). He prints lots of comments from readers who agree with his review, none from those who don't, then uses a few crackpot comments to make a "BlackBerry nuts" jibe. Seems like he has an axe to grind... - Jules
I think he's got a point though - Have both? Cup of drink in one hand, which can you pick out a single song from a list of hundreds quicker on with the other hand? Wheel or touch? - Chris Weiss

If there's one thing Pogue hates, it's criticism. No one likes it, but he goes to great lengths to refute it. - Veronica
Chris, frankly the scroll wheel tires the heck out of my thumb. I've found that I can find songs faster on the touch/iPhone. - Veronica
I was surprised to see that the readers agreed with Pogue about his review. As soon as I saw Gruber's post, I thought there would be a RIM riot, but nope. - Larry Hudson
I'm sure the ones he picked were a little skewed. - Veronica
I'm faster with the scroll wheel, too much twitching to be accurate with the touch - maybe the other hand should be holding decaf instead :) - Chris Weiss

I had to use someone's iPod Classic this weekend past to quickly make a playlist, and since I've been using the iPhone I seem to have lost the skill to make playlists quickly on the old iPod's scroll wheel. - Matthew J Hendrickse
