IPhone Comparison

The iPod Touch draws 99 percent of its features from the iPhone. The bad news is that the iPod Touch does not have the built-in speakers, microphone, camera, and Bluetooth functions like the IPhone. The included functions of the IPod Touch are Safari Web browser, POP/IMAP e-mail, YouTube video portal, photo viewer, music player, video player, stock tracker, weather forecaster, notepad, and iTunes Wi-Fi music store which place the iPod Touch on the cutting edge for portable video players. The only product in competition with the iPod Touch's combination of a Wi-Fi-enabled Web browser, wireless music store, wide-screen video playback, photo viewer, and audio player, is the Archos 605 WiFi.

One of the features that put the iPod Touch ahead of the iPhone is the ability to output video and photos to a television using an optional Apple AV cable, Universal Dock, or qualifying third-party video accessory. Another advantage the iPod Touch offers over the iPhone is the ability to manually manage music and video content in lieu of setting up automatic content syncing rules within iTunes. Note: The IPod Touch does not support a generic USB storage mode.
