iPod Touch
Freaking sweet.
An iPhone without the phone+contract+$60/mo. And with twice the capacity. Pretty much exactly what I wanted an iPhone for (didn't care for the phone features, but thought of them as a minor annoyance to put up with for an otherwise cool gadget).
However... same price?
It's an iPod, first and foremost. It's advertised as an iPod, it has "iPod" etched into the back. So the primary purpose is for music + occasional video on the side. Easily the best video capabilities of any iPod yet with the landscape view... but the least amount of space?
You'd think that to tout this awesome new video, it'd have awesome space to show it off... but it's the smallest space iPod has had since... ever? Nearly ever?
I can't justify $400 for a 16GB iPod when I can get a 160GB iPod for $50 less. Crazy new features sure are crazy, but in the end, they won't be used nearly as much as the music playing, which is what anyone buying an iPod is looking to do.
