The great thing about Apple’s new iPhone, is that it’s got great touch-screen technology, especially useful for flipping through your MP3 albums to play on the “iPod part” of it. However, the iPhone also has loads of other features that - well - business users might enjoy having, but 15-year old Brittany has no use for. For Brittany, is the iPhone worth $500+? Are her parents ever going to buy that hot piece of technology for her, hoping that she won’t get mugged for it?

Apple’s iPods are today’s best-selling MP3 players, but are in need of a facelift. The 5th generation iPod has been around for a while now, and now that we’ve heard what the iPhone’s features would be like, we’re only waiting for the same features to come to a standalone iPod.

In this recent article from the Kansas Wichita Eagle, the writer makes and interesting point regarding a possible 6th generation iPod with many iPhone-like features:

By the time 2007 ends, you can bet Apple will sell more new iPods than iPhones.

We can be certain that - even though the iPhone is the greatest cell phone available to North America - it will probably never outsell a similarly produced, and a lesser-priced iPod.
