Is there any such thing as a Nexus 4 without cellular?

Agreed. Nothing beats the iPod app on iOS devices. Music on Android devices just isn't the same IMO.
I never really liked Poweramp. Maybe it has more features but the iPod app is more user-friendly.
iPod touch comes to mind... Same reason kids want iPod touches, great apps + content over wifi, no cellular bills.
Then why not get an iPod Touch? Or an Android version? Why would you ever want to buy a whole phone (for a higher price than a media player)...to not use it as a phone?
There's tons of good great music apps on android. Many android phones actually have superior sound quality as well. The galaxy siii and galaxy note ii as well as the galaxy tab line and galaxy players all use wolfson chips which are vastly superior to the cirrus chip apple uses. The nexus 10 also uses the Wolfson chip.
Well, not all of them since the US version of galaxy S3 doesn't use wolfson audio chip.
What is bad about Power amp's UI. It's screened gestures trounces any UI elements the stock iPhone app has.
The us version actually does have the Wolfson chip. The rumors that it didn't turned out to be false.

Nope, all Snapdragon S4 based phones are using audio chip called WCD9310 which is included in the SoC.
PowerAmp is ugly. It has a lot of great features, but still, it's just really ugly. It feels like WinAmp in the early 2000's. The skins just barely help it.
It looks like a slightly altered Winamp from the XP days. Its very functional but very ugly. My caveat is I haven't touched PowerAmp since July, so if its changed much, my apologies.
Poweramp is horrible, DoubleTwist is the best music app on Android IMO. However iPod is still the best music player hands down.
