Well the thread creator did want to compare the two devices.
Anyway you're right, two totally different devices that do not compete, in my opinion, at all.
The iPhone is a phone, the IT is not.
The iPod touch is a media player, the IT is not.
This should be enough.

The iPhone is for Mac users, the IT is for the rest of us.

I am both a Mac user and non-Mac user.

So, now, I don't know which one I should love

EDIT: oh, texrat already prized you
