Let's consider the iPod touch vs the iPhone without an AT&T plan:
iPhone pros:
* iPod loses the camera.
* iPod loses a bunch of useful applications like google maps and email.
* iPod loses earphones with remote control bud.
* iPod loses side mounted volume control.
* iPod can't be hacked to be used on another cell phone carrier or to replace current phone.
* iPod lacks external speaker.
* iPod lacks bluetooth.
iPod pros:
* $100 cheaper for the same storage
* For now, available in larger capacity.
* Slightly smaller.
Overall, it seems to me the iPhone is a better iPod than the iPod even with no actual phone service. When a 16GB version comes out, probably in the not too distant future, it will be even more so.
