The touch being only $100 cheaper than the iPhone of equivalent size makes me not want to get the touch. The classic is also much, much bigger and cheaper. So the touch doesn't seem like such a good buy.

the biggest plus about the Touch is the WiFi connection. i wish the Classic iPOD got the WiFi or bluetooth at least.

Apple just anounced that they are dropping the price of the 8gb Iphone by $200.

This is everything the Zune should have been.

I dono.... but $400 is still a lot to go for in both cases...

in hotspots, the safari browser is awesome. I wonder if the "non phone" version has a laptime stopwatch feature too?

Because you have to buy a phone service to use the iPhone phone...

Exactly, that's the reason I am contemplating on getting the Touch. I don't want to pay $60 plus for the iPhone's super slow data plan. I already have an awesome plan w/ Internet service to my phone already (Motorola Q), but the Touch might just replace my iPod.

Probably wait for Rev. 2 just so they can up the storage. $400 is too expensive right now, and $300 is a bit too much to pay for a 8GB. Then again, I am a cheap ass.
