Hmmm, now if only some enterprising company or hacker finds a way to add this up:

WiFi enabled iPodTouch + Skpye for iPodTouch + Microphone = VoIP iPodTouch

Another interesting equation worth pondering:
Starbucks Music = Starbucks hotspot = T-Mobile HotSpot = T-Mobile@Home

lots of possibilities….

It sucks that there is no SD card slot. In a couple of months when the price of 16gb SDHC cards drops, you could have popped one in and had a 32gb iPod Touch.

Once you log in to itunes store you stay (logged in at least that how it works on my pc), so I guess someone could run up your bill. I’m wondering since this has wifi would the apple be able to track it down(if stolen) when the thief uses wifi. The itouch has a standard headphone jack.

Ok, but will it need a headphone adapter like the iPhone??? How bad will that suck!?

Why in the world would they release the touch with only a 16gig drive? I agree with others they should have used a hd and created at least a 30gig version to make it worthwhile.

This is F**KING SICK!!!!! But, yes there’s always a but, it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too expensive for only an 8 or 16 gb flash drive. Now if it was a 30 gb drive I would be sold, ok maybe a 60 for $349.

You have to log into your itunes account to purchase music so I would not worry about that. Will you be able to browse your webmail with the device? If so that makes for a great device for me anyway.

HA @ THE ZUNE. STOP.

AS FOR THIS GADGET, IM BUYING IT.

THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE NOW IS WILL IT TETHER TO MY WI-FI BLACKBERRY WHEN IT IS RELEASED BY TMOBILE? SOMEONE ANSWER THAT.

I guess this pretty much seals the fate of the Zune.

The ipod touch is nice for those who don’t have an iphone or don’t want to switch to AT&T. I’d pre order one today if there was a 30gb version.

So, we should see the 32GB version by Macworld?

yeah, that would suck to “lose” it and a month later realize that someone charges $3,000 on your ipod?

I think that might be a bit of a stretch, they must have some security. maybe password for every purchase? dont know until someone tests it out.

By: Tee Jay

My question is, so when someone steals a “touch” (come on you know its going to happen) they can just have free reign at downloading music to their new stolen “touch” thus charging your credit/debity card and all you can do is foot the bill until you get a chance to cancel your card on the site?

Ok gang. All along I have been saying that the iPhone would be a great device without the phone (and for that matter AT&T). Now Apple has gone and done this a few short weeks before I purchase the t-mo curve. I could just keep my current cell phone (Moto Rizr) and get this for all things multimedia. What is a girl to do???

I think I am more pumped for the 160 gig than the touch

By: test5477

test5477 — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:56:54 +0000

the touch is basicaly the iphone minus the phone, looks and act the same. I cant imagine they would not put the store on the iphones.

Browsing the iTunes store is similar to the iTunes app on the PC. Tap a song to preview the song, and tap the download button to download. The next time you dock your iPod Touch to your computer, it’ll sync the song to iTunes.

There’s a featured section, as well as search (searches everything), and the same selection as on the iTunes regular store. Not a slimmed, gimped down store for the portable iPod Touch.
