Hi all,

I'm curious what you all know about the differences between the iPhone4 and the 
iPod touch, other than the obvious phone capabilities of course.

I've had my eye on the iPhone since shortly after getting a mac, and as anyone 
following me on twitter could tell you I kept a close eye on any rumors about 
when it would get to Verizon. Strangely, now that Verizon has finally made it 
official, I'm suddenly not sure. The idea of adding another $30 to my bill for 
a smartphone data plan is a little hard to swallow. From what I can tell, the 
iPod touch can run all of the same apps, and I'm satisfied with a phone that 
places calls and does text messaging. Of course the touch can only use wifi, 
but if I'm away from a wifi connection, I'm probably quite busy doing something 
and don't need those distractions anyway.

Other than these, what other differences have you guys noticed?

Thanks,

Justin
