Forget iPhone, I'll take the iPod Touch

Posted at 1:35 PM on September 5, 2007 by Jon Gordon

I don't want an iPhone because I don't want to switch from my carrier, T-Mobile, to AT&T. With T-Mobile, I'm comfortably post-contract and generally happy with network performance. But the iPod Touch, ah, that's lustworthy. Essentially an iPhone without the phone, the device keeps the best features of the iPhone (Wi-fi, touch screen, cover flow, etc.) and ditches the worst thing (having to be tied to one carrier).

I'd run out to buy the iPod Touch right now if it had a hard drive with decent storage. The 16 GB maximum capacity seems like a mistake, but perhaps not a fatal one.

I'm guessing the Touch will eat into sales of the iPhone, even with the price similarity.
