I think they'd have more "market penetration" if they offered a $350 - $400 touch screen iPod that has everything the iPhone offers except the phone portion. Personally I want my phone to be a little more rugged (and smaller) than the iPhone appears to be but would love if I could take out my iPod and start browsing the web and chatting using local wifi networks. Also; Apple "needs" to open up the iPhone to developers. Does anyone know if Apple will release a touch screen iPod with the internet connectivity portion of the iPhone?

The lack of real buttons is probably also going to be a little bit of an annoyance for the regular user. They will however, serve as an upgrade for the iPod owners looking for a better, bigger video iPod and are willing to pay for it - which Apple has clearly demonstrated is still a pretty large crowd. iPhones are entertainment devices that are to expensive to justify for the mass market as a personal purchase and are not blackberry equivalents to expense as a business purchase.

Still, selling an overpriced underfunctional buggy constantly-breaking easily-scratched product to 33 million people is a testament to the power of marketing.

We won't be calling cell phones iPhones in 2012. I'm willing to bet most people's first iPods were their first digital audio player. Not so with the iPhone. People already know there are other products that work in this area. And the iPod certainly didn't sell on features, but on style and simplicity. I don't see that anywhere close to the same as the iPhone. As for myself, I'm not holding a phone up to my face just to dial when buttons work fine,they give me feedback, and they don't require my eyes necessarily.
