Apple announces iPod Touch: iPhone without the phone

This is a great product for all those of you who wanted the ipod phone because of design. The 8 and 16 GB is good for lost of ipod movies and music http://www.ipod-vibez.com but they could have made it a bit bigger

i think everything apple did was great (sorry to sound too mac fanboyish :) yes they could have done all kinds of improvements but i'm jus glad that it's out there now

i think the bluetooth would be a good move to get rid of the wires but the iphone doesnt support file tansfer so . . . idk just thought id point that out

i think they didnt do all the extra stuff because they lowered the iphone price to prevent cannibalism so they didnt give it any upgrades and if they had made a super itouch with all those features it would be bad for the iphone

the iphone is foremost right now so they want to keep boostin it when every1 has an iphone then they will upgrade the itouch to be an awsum pda and every1 will go crazy therell be riots in quebec sit ins washington and we'll clone another goat and name it itouch !! ;) itouch the goat !!

I must admit apple has come a long way! This technology is so deserving of praise! Yes there is room for improvement such as storage capacity and 802.11n. Have you ever viewed the internet on a mobile phone? It sucks, you need to mostly go to web pages designed for mobile. The safari is great, it resized a page in correct scale! I myself will wait for larger capacity storage and by then I'm sure there will be many improvements and possible bugs worked out. How can anybody put this product down? Remember not too many years ago all we had were 4 gb hard drives and storage devices were not able to be so small! I have been around playing with technology for a very long time, I am a technology geek! I am also a PC user/technician but I appreciate MAC's! I will have one of these when it's out there for a while!

And did I mention Bluetooth? No, I don't think I did, but we should have bluetooth up and down the iPod line. Enough with the wires that tangle in steering wheels, dangle and slap during exercise, etc. etc. etc.

Okay, it's a lovely device, but at that price: voice recorder, PDA-like functionality, camera, more memory and/or memory card slot. Palm (or at least the Palm we once loved) made it a snap to sync with contacts/address book, text notes, calendars, and more years ago for a lot less money. What gives? Beauty yes, function, not so much.

I'm loving this iPod Touch, but I've got to wonder, why not just buy an iPhone? Of course, you don't have to activate the iPhone, so you can just use it in wi-fi mode. I guess it would be $100 more than the 8gb touch, but seems like the way to go... for me anyway, because I want the email application and it doesn't look like the touch has that.

Oh yeah! I forgot! It will need Bluetooth also...

The memory issue is huge. I'll hold out on the Touch until they get to at the very least 60 GB.

And why didn't they include a camera. I'll need at least a 3 megapixel camera with that.

An FM tuner would help Apple make cash too. Listen to the radio, hear "NEW" music and download it from iTunes. Why are they avoiding the radio feature?

In the end, I will need those three features before I get the iTouch (I know that's not the official name): 60GB, 3 Megapixel camera and a radio tuner.

At first site this thing was the best part of my day. But as i thought about it, it slowly became less attractive. I was originally willing to deal with the lack of storage space. Now Steve mentioned several times its tiny thickness.... Who cares. Make it a little bigger and give me more space and even a camera. They put a camera in the iPhone why not in this. Also im sure hackers/modders will soon figure out how to do it but i would like to see them include E-mail support into the base application list. In the end however it is still a multi touch iPod with wi-fi. This i have been waiting years for. So at first glance i was like "im puttin in my pre-order right now". But now i think ill wait for a space upgrade or till im guarateed more applications that use the wi-fi.
