Our sister blog has written a short review of their iPod Touch (more like bragging that they've got one). In that review is something I thought was interesting: What's the difference between an iPod Touch and an iPhone?

Here's the run down:

• No blue tooth connectivity
• No cellular radio so theres no Edge
• You can't add calendar events to your Calendar app (lame)
• but for some reason you can add people into your contacts.
• No Mail app
• No link sharing in Mobile Safari
• No Notes app
• No external playback of music
• No external volume buttons
• No camera, so no taking photos on the go.
• No Stocks, Weather or Google Maps widget
• and last but not least, no Jailbreak app (yet) to add more apps to the iPod Touch.
• iPhone maxes out at 8 gigs, the iPod Touch has up to 16 gigs
  

So the iPod Touch is no iPhone, and if you were thinking it was going to be an iPhone minus the cell radio, you better look closely before you buy. We don't want to hear of any lawsuits (heh).

We're sure it's a pretty nice iPod but what we're bummed about is that it maxes out at 16 gigs! We want something with a slick interface that will hold 160 gigs of music. We'd love to have our whole collection in one slick device. Unfortuately 16 gigs is not going to cut it. It does look awesome though.
