While some might disagree with my wording I think most would agree with the sentiment of my postings.

I have picked up an iPod Touch and it's everything I have come to expect from Apple both good and bad. At the end of a month I will sell one of them based on my experiences ( if my wife doesn't kill me first after seeing the CC statement ).

Major drawbacks to the touch

* No decent IM. BeeJive works in a pinch and is very slick, but is no substitute for a real IM client
* No tethering.

Lesser issues with the touch

* Battery life could be better, but it gets me through the day
* Has a tendency to "forget" hidden networks

Honestly, when you get down to it, both devices suck... I just have to decide how I prefer to get screwed at the end of the day.
