Whew, I guess I bought my iPod Touch at just the right time then. That said, it cost me as much for it as my former 8GB 2nd generation iPod Nano.

I like the Touch, it's very hackable. Sparkfun.com even sells a microphone kit for it and I know there's a version of Skype for it.

Everywhere I go (Home, the train, work) all has 802.11 wireless access.

So there's now no real need for me to buy a cell phone.
