The company I work for is going to buy either a 16gb iPod Touch OR an iPhone for me to use for website development testing purposes. So far I've been leaning towards the touch because of the amount of storage space, but I'm still a little torn for a couple of reasons, one of which is the fact that you can only connect online via WiFi. Whereas the iPhone can connect online through EDGE OR WiFi.
So what I'm wondering is this, have any of you felt like the iPod Touch wasn't quite as useful if you weren't in range of a WiFi connection? Every time I think of a scenario when the various apps on the Touch would be useful it's typically a time when WiFi wouldn't be available. For example, using the Maps feature while traveling down the road, or checking your email when you're nowhere near a hotspot.
I'm a little worried that I'll get the Touch and feel like I've replaced my 60gb iPod Classic with a smaller storage model (with a bigger screen) that sometimes has these cool web-realted features.
What has your experience been like? Keep in mind that I already have a MacBook Pro.
