I think He (SJ) just shot himself in the foot. I would have waited a year at least before introducting the Ipod Touch

A Vasectomy? Sweet! Everything is better after a vasectomy. The worst part about my iPhone is being able to take pictures, browse the internet and use it as a really, really good phone.

Now everyone has the option to save a hundred bucks and not do any of that stuff.

It probably will cut into iPhone sales a bit, but honestly, I think most of them will probably regret not getting the phone. If you're not getting the phone you might as well get something with 10 times the storage space for the same price.

Dare I go back to the whole name of the (Apple)Phone question... iPod Touch, iPod Classic... iPod Touch Phone? What's an iPhone?

Somehow the new line lacks the brilliance and definition of the previous generations. Something's amiss.

et alone the fact that Apple's market research group must really suck if they couldn't predict that a 4GB $500 dollar iPod/Phone wasn't going to sell. 68 days from cradle to grave? Duh!?

(...Sorry Amy. )

The ipod touch without wifi would have been much less likely to cannibalize iphone sales. I know there's this whole new business model of selling songs through the ipod, but it does really blur the distinctions. Why does an ipod need to SURF the WEB!!? I agree Kent, from this vantage point, it seems like an error of judgment.

iy -- Thanks! As if I wasn't feeling queasy enough about the $200, now you've brought up another very possible concern. 16GB indeed… (sigh)

Not only do I feel today like a chump for shelling out $200 more for an iphone, but I suspect that in the VERY near future, I'm going to feel even worse...How long until the 8GB becomes the 'cheaper' model and the 16GB version is intro'ed?

yes they want to dominate the cell phone market... By January in max they will introduce a more frugal iPhone... Because if they want to dominate the market they"ll have to lower the price or have different options.. Apple is moving to quick and with no room to say wow...

Yesterdays news was a WTF rather than wow.
