A scratch prone, finger smudge loving brick of a device that weighs me down better than a belt full of lead. No thanks. Ill stick with my Zune HD. Got mine yesterday from America imported :).

Actually, real word (on the street) numbers from our community seem to indicate that it’s far higher than 25% of iPhones that are being unlocked. Often it isn’t simply a matter of being unhappy with AT&T – sometimes AT&T simply doesn’t provide coverage in the area where a potential iPhone user lives. Verizon does!

The iPod touch is far from dying, in fact it’s essentially an iPhone without the telco contract (and unlocking) headaches.

regarding that “virtuous cycle,” Apple always has the best marketing…

Everything you said is completely untrue.

1. The Ipod touch is not the iPhone’s only significant rival.

2. Unlocked iPhones can access the App Store just fine.

As all 3 products are manufactured by Apple itself and there they are good and competing against each other. I too believe Itouch will be generating more revenues in coming time

I think that the killer hardware updates for the iPod Touch should be a camera and a GPS.

If Apple could do a test deal with Verizon to market the Touch with MIFI like capabilities for even $60 a month, I think that millions would flock from the iPhone to the Touch. This would allow Apple to move away from AT&T (which would make the FCC happy) while still honoring their existing contract. This would provide a rich testing ground for the rumored tablet. It would also be a win for those Apps in the store that are more “IPhone only” to be used on the touch (such as the newly released TOM TOM GPS app).

Let’s face it, we deal more with emails and twitter now then phone calls. We need an internet communicator, not a phone. I’m perfectly happy to carry my slim phone in my pocket while I use my Touch for everything else.

The problem with the iTouch is the speed (web browsing is painfully slow) and the lack of camera and integrated mic.

If they fix these issues on sept 9, you pretty much get rid of the need for an iphone (skype works really well on itouch).

Still… if the zune has much better web browsing speed, I dunno… this is what kills the fun of ipod touch for me.

an unlocked/jailbroken iPhone can access the Appstore no problem
