iPhone Features Lacking on the iPod Touch

Now that the iPod touch has gotten into reviewers hands, iProng has posted a full list of what's different between the iPod Touch and the iPhone.

There were few surprises based on previously published specs. The biggest differences that were known include the lack of EDGE connectivity, Mail application, and editable Calendar.

A couple that may be less obvious if you haven't played with the Touch yet is the lack of external volume buttons and no built-in speaker.

That was a good review.

Although anyone who expected the iPod touch to have EDGE needs to have their head examined.

I dunno about anyone else... but to me the iPhone definitely outweighs the purchasing power of the iPod Touch... Especially now with all these claims of defective screens, and gimped features... You're really better of with an iPhone...

Sure, but with the iPhone also comes $20/month and a two year contract (with the choice of only one carrier).

The iPod touch is meant for those who don't want an iPhone.

In my opinion there is no reason to buy an iPod touch other than for storage. The iPhone has so many extra features for the same price that it just doesn't make any sense to pick the Touch. I am wondering if this will show in iPod Touch sales.

No EDGE. Damn!

I hear the Apple Store in London's Reagent Street is staying open late after the 'Mum's no Longer the Word' event. I wonder why. Could it be they have a delivery of iPod Touch devices to sell?

Yeah. I'm paying 20 bucks a month less than my previous SmartPhone because of the more expensive data plan.

If the data plan price stays the same after two years I'll have saved 480 bucks through the contract over my previous phone. Which at this point is more than the cost of the phone.

Why would the Touch have EDGE capability? Its not a cell phone.

I thought that missing feature would be implicit.

I'm still baffled to why Apple would let you enter contacts but not calendar entries.
