iPod Touch or iPod Nano Touch now gives a little video for everyone as a result of an updated iPod Nano product line (first introduced on September 7, 2005) released today, with 4GB and 8GB models starting at just $149. According to Eclectic Commons, who was at the Apple Store in mid Manhattan today, the street was packed with people waiting for the announcement with the pomp and pageantry with which Apple makes all its announcements.
Little speaks volumes (according to Apple). While Apple cuts iPhone price, retools iPods by introducing the iPod Touch, a touch-screen device that lets anyone in range of a WiFi hot spot buy music or surf the Web, Apple has decoupled the phone from the iPhone (in my opinion) and given us the iPod Touch, instead.
"…The iPod Touch offers most of the features that the iPhone does — except cell phone functions."
Back in 2005 when the 2G iPod was first released the Nano was described to be so thin that it slips effortlessly into the coin pocket on a pair of women's jeans, with room to spare; against today's iPod Nano Touch.
So my dilemma is this …. do I buy a 8GB iPod nano Touch that does not have a phone or just go out and buy an iPhone (that just went down on price, BTW). While Steve Jobs Introduces Changes in iPhones, iPods it's still not that easy for me to want to surf the internet in Starbucks using iPod Touch that has no keyboard to touch vs. the iPhone that does have one. And then, when I'm not near a useable wireless network, I can't do anything with the iPod touch except play music and videos with it while the iPhone can still connect to the internet and is better for writing a letter.
So what will it be for me? Will Apple's Ipod Touch me in all the right places? Has Apple has found our collective G-Spot or not?
Does anyone care to give their opinion here? Would you hold out for the 8GB iPhone or buy an iPhone Touch?
