    iPod Touch 4G for the win though.

    As far as I can tell these specs destroy all recent apple products. I don't really know what the big deal is about the iphone/ipad to be honest.

    Apple's computers are amazing but their everything else is kinda overrated.

    I would like to kindly ask what's overrated about the iphone. Other than the "death grip" issue, they seem incredible to me.

    Apple lost my respect with their handling of the death grip issue. I'll still always love their PCs, but I'll never go with an iphone ever again.

    I never said iPhone, I said iPod Touch.

    Anyway, I'll be sure you inspect this more closer to the release date.
