Apple announce the iPod Touch - an iPhone without the phone

Apple has lifted the lid on the iPod touch, which essentially is an iPhone but without the phone capabilities. Prices start at $299 and the touch is available in both 8GB and 16GB variants. A very interesting move indeed from Apple, but is it a stupid one or a smart one? Let us know. More information on the newly announced product is available to view at apple.com.

Once again Apple slaps a high selling price on a slightly improved model. I'm still looking to buy an ipod, when the prices goes to a reasonable price.

Why not go for an IPHONE considering 4gig is 300$ now

Exactly, why not buy an iPhone? I wont be buying this. I hate iPods lol because its made by apple rofl. Who wouldnt have guessed they would make an Iphone without a phone. Thats more money for apple.

maybe you can scrap it for neat parts in a few years

ima get the iphone when there are more ways to unlock it, its only 399 for the 8gb

they stopped selling 4gb iphones

i think i rather buy the iphone...

it looks nice

It's not that much different to the iPhone? Why did Apple make two separate products? Seriously, I'd rather buy a iPhone for a $100 more!


I hadn't realised that. You can't buy the 4gb from the Apple Store. I wonder if any shops still have it. Still, I'll buy an 8gb iPhone.

jsut bought a nano this was a bit over my budget but hell its sexy

if i the money (plz god help find a better job) i would buy the iphone than this useless money grabbing piece of crap

the reason apple came out with it is because people without at&t cant get a iPhone. and it is actually alot cheaper because the plans for the iPhone are outrageous.
