ipod Touch - Can anyone give me a reason not to buy this?

You might as well get an iPhone. It has everything but the phone, hell, I bet you could open it up and hack it to make it a phone for like a couple bucks.

Nope, different hardware inside. No camera or mic on the touch.

Not true.

It has a lot of features that a standard ipod does not have; web browser, email, etc. It is really a different caliber of device than a standard ipod.

It really is a whole new standard for portable media. It sure as hell is not in the "mp3 player" category anymore, it just does so many other things that you just can't call it that.

Was a smart move on Apple's part by taking a piece of hardware they already had, toning it down a bit and releasing it with a smaller price tag. The iPhone isn't ALL that revolutionary in the phone market, but take away the phone and put it into the portable media market and it blows away the competition.
