For Canadians, or like minded thrifty purchasers, the iPod touch is a great alternative to the iPhone. I'm planning on getting one myself but I'm waiting until September as there is a rumor that Apple is changing/upgrading their iPod line.

I'm fairly forgiving of typos in blog posts, but to use the wrong product name in the first sentence, about 75 pixels away from the correct product name in the title, is a little too much.

What? He wrote iPod Touch? What's the problem?

Said "iPhone Touch" before. Glad to see he fixed it.

These were exactly my thoughts when I got my touch. The iPhone is just too costly for me. I don't really need always on data that much. Now if only we could get voip and a built in microphone on the touch...

Don't hold your breath.

The iPhone costs $199 + $175 ETF = $374. The cheapest iPod Touch is $299. You only save $75 by buying the iPod Touch instead of the iPhone. Considering the extra functionality of the iPhone, the iPod Touch is a rip-off.

Uhh please factor in total cost of ownership. Contracts from AT&T aren't free.

There are two numbers that are missing, one is the $70 you pay for the first month and the other is the $36 activation fee. That in addition to the Early Termination Fee and the cost of the device would be the total minimum cost.
