However, with the iTouch now having mic and etc. it now can do what I wanted in my n800 and if I were choosing today between the two the new (not previous) iTouch would win out.
iPod Touch ( Official Firmware )

1) Web browsing: Prone to loss of JS data entered into the page if you navigate to another part of the OS
2) No IM client if you are not running the IM client ( you go offline as soon as you do anything else )
3) VoIP.... still no VoIP client and even if there was you could not receive a call on the go if you were not running the VoIP client.
