If you're looking for the least expensive entry point, your choices are the 8GB Touch or a refurbished 4GB iPhone. The Touch has double the memory for the same price.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Form Factor.</span> The iPhone is bigger and heavier than the Touch. It weighs in at 4.8 ounces and 11.6 mm depth versus the Touch's slim 4.2 ounces and 8mm thickness. Not a huge difference to be sure but those extra 4 mm definitely feel different in the hand.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Built-ins.</span> The iPhone offers a built-in microphone, speakers and 2.0 megapixel camera. The Touch does not. You can't snap a photo and email it on the go with the Touch the way you do with iPhone.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Contract-free use</span>. The iPhone is designed to be used with a monthly service fee. The Touch is contract-free out of the box. The iPhone requires activation through semi-nefarious hacking before it can be used without a contract and/or phone service.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Hackability.</span> The Touch is probably just as hackable as the iPhone but the iPhone is a known quantity.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">EDGE. </span>Surfing on the Touch is a WiFi-only prospect. The US iPhone offers EDGE for when you're away from WiFi hotspots. Even with EDGE, though, coverage is spotty.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4671605254429451463-5915452554754396988?l=akshatdhingra.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Akshathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01490475012633692003noreply@blogger.com1
