[pct-l] Introductions and IPhone question

[Postholer]

I think the biggest issue will be the keyboard. Your pocketmail will have a 
full 'qwerty' keyboard which makes it much easier. Typing directly from an 
iPod will be tedious at best. You could possibly get a soft keyboard for it 
though. Truant journaled last year using an iPod, it's certainly doable:

For a complete discourse on gadgets, check out Gadgets Gadget Guide. It's a 
very thorough document on the subject of smartphones for the trail:

Gadget also kept his journal from his smartphone on the trail. It's one of 
the best journals I've seen:

As a journalist over at postholer (good to see you there!) you'll have 
access to the mobile version of postholer optimized for smartphone users:

We're probably going to bring the pocket mail for both of us on this
hike, but we recently got a chance to play with a friend's iphone and
were thinking that it might make a great, more functional replacement
for the pocketmail.  Does anyone have any experience with using the
iphone out on the trail for journaling?  Also, does anyone know how
ATT's coverage is in the trail towns along the way and whether there
are any wifi spots in any of the towns?
