Does anyone feel like the new iPod Touch is now even closer to an iPhone without the

Point?

I said it was virtually the same. I don't see how "better ____" makes a difference. Still the same features besides flash and GPS.

Fact is, they made it to identical. I wouldn't trade my iPhone 4 for a iPod Touch but I can't help but feel slightly cheated.

I don't see why you feel cheated. If you want to carry a phone and an iPod Touch around at the same time then go ahead. I did that with my Nexus One and it got on my nerves. Most people want one device that does it all. The iPhone does that and most people pay a subsidised price for the iPhone so it makes this irrelevant.

Paying for a phone unlocked and unsubsidised blows the price out of proportion and this isn't just recently. It's always been like this way before the iPhone.

Apple was always going to make the iPod Touch similar to the iPhone to rake in young customers and people who just don't want a monthly contract. The price is lower because the quality of the product is slightly lower compared to the iPhone.

I agree. I have been saying this for years. There is no way the cell chip, antennae, etc of iphone justifies its high price *plus* the monthly fee. Thus I prob will be getting the Touch 4. Another thing I don't understand is why th iphone 4 so much thicker than the touch 4..?

The price of the new iPod Touch tells me that the iPhone 4 is over priced. A $400 difference in price for the 32GB models seem excessive, given that the only differences are a cell phone chip, antenna, and style?

So how do you use that GPS once you leave your house? Does your car have wifi?

Personally, I think it's awesome the iPhone and iPod Touch are that closely related. More people using iOS the better IMO

They have navigon which has all the maps loaded, just can't use the google search service or get traffic info, but it'll still work for turn by turn.
