New Apple Products

Yesterday Apple released a new iPod touch. Essentially this is a wi-fi enabled tablet computer along the lines of the Nokia 770. It seemes priced right at $299 for the 8GB model and $399 for the 16GB model. I think it will fit a niche market of people who want some of the features of the iPhone but not the AT&T service contract. When a few more carriers agree to work with Apple to make the iPhone work on their networks (read Verizon) I think the iPhone may really take off more. For now there is a halfway product that has a lot of the glamour of the iPhone, just without the big iPhone price tag and service commitment.
