I’m burning an actual CD-ROM for the first time in…a really long time. With USB, fast Internet & external drives, I hardly ever need to.

I’ll have to practice with the virtual keyboard on the G1 some more. If I can get used to it, this might be worth the upgrade.
As near as I can tell, all they sell are iPod/iPhone accessories. But they’re right across from the Apple Store.
