I just had to do it. I took the plunge as soon as it came out. I audaciously went through the process of upgrading my iPhone software to the new iOS 4 first thing in the morning. The result: loss of mail, contacts, music, documents, apps, and all my content and settings, which in turn [...]

I wanted something that could productively occupy my 23-minute on-foot commute but also wanted something more than just a music/podcast player.
