Riddle Me This: iPhone vs iPod Touch

[ed welch]

the new iPhone has better features than iPod touch, but no where near $450's worth, so yes, you're being screwed - "consumer" rhymes with "loser" ;)

In the US, Apple is screwing you....no Royals there; we threw off the monarchy in 1776, if you remember. In the UK, Apple is royally buggering everyone. PS. The expression chosen by each country may denote actual preferences prevalent there. :laugh:

The iPhone costs more because it's a PHONE.

Phones cost $30, not $450.

You have an option of not buying their stuff, like many others.

Not to mention the convenience of two gadgets failing on you when something goes wrong with it.

you don't need to buy it. Apple has set up this offer. You can accept it or reject it.

Hey, rep-whore, you could just have edited your original reply rather than reply to your own post.

Maybe as he posted about a sub-brand of a brand, he thought he would do a sub-post of a post! :)

I haven't used any (or looked for one). I prefer to use a standard GPS device rather than use it through a phone. On the rare occasions that I did not have a GPS, I just used the phone's map software rather than try the phone's GPS software.

All WP7 apps run across all WP7 devices. So you don't have to pick a specific phone model for using a specific app. I believe 720p HD video is a requirement for a device to support WP7. I have a Samsung Focus on AT&T. I haven't used other providers in years so I am not sure how good the others are, but I find AT&T rates to be decent and their service is alright too unless you drive into the deep country sides (you'll usually find yourself out of 3G coverage).

The iPhone has double RAM than the iPod Touch, has a digital compass and a GPS, Oleophobic screen coating, larger battery, a way better camera + LED. Plus the iPhone 4S is equipped with the new A5 chip, while the iPod touch has the A4 chip.

Sounds like you want a SPOF phone, not WP7.

I have so many reasons to boycott Apple, that's just another one on the bunch.

Despite not liking, not knowing deeply and not buying anything from apple I thinking you may be scratching only the surface when we talk about hardware. Have you verified if the processors are the same? As far as I know, the 4S got some hardware improvement, including the processor. That might justify some cash difference. So basically iPhone Price = iPod Touch + Phone Antenna + Some Hardware improvement + Lot of Hype I bet this urge that people have to always own the latest and shiniest of the shiniest allows apple to put that price on the phone.
