The iPod Touch, yes. But then why would anyone ever get one of those? Why not just get an iPhone?

Iphones cost monthly, Ipods do not.

But everyone has a phone. So why have a separate phone and an iPod touch?

Why get an Iphone when you have a laptop?

Not everyone wants a smart phone. A few hundred bucks for a phone and a 400$ a year data plan so I can check CZ and watch Entourage streaming? No thanks. I'll take my free phone and 200$ iPod that's 4 years old, thank you very much.

Because I can't carry my laptop in my pocket and use it as a phone?

Odd question.

My friend bought one for her 7 year old. I guess it's good for little kids who don't need phones yet.

True. I have a friend that did so as well. That's the only thing that makes sense.
