Ok, we don't want you to explode, so here is the basic difference choosing between an iPhone and an iPod Touch. One has a camera, works as a phone, and requires an internet and cell phone contract with AT&T - the iPhone. The other does not - the iPod Touch. Can you still access the internet on the iPod Touch? Yes, you can use wifi to access your wireless internet signal. Below you will find a BRIEF introduction to these products.

iPod's hit the scene in 2001 as a result of Steve Jobs asking Apple engineers to assemble a player that could put 1000 songs in your pocket. Prior to 2007, iPods were mainly used for videos, podcasts, and music. With the easy to maneuver clicking wheel, even technology novice were finding themselves purchasing some of the latest Apple technology. Today there are still several options available for people looking for just a media player such as the iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, and iPod Classic which range in cost from $59 - $249. Make sure and compare these iPods to make sure you get what you are wanting.

By 2007 the iPod Touch made it's debut which expanded the typical iPod to include use as a pda. The main difference in the traditional media players and the iPod Touch is the availability of apps. The iPod Touch is still an iPod plus a pocket computer and portable game player. It is speculated that the next iPod Touch will include a camera. iPod touch prices ranges from $199 - $399 depending on the GB. On average 1GB hold about 250 songs.

The iPhone was released shortly after the iPod Touch. This phone is a camera, iPod, phone, pda, portable game player, pocket computer, and internet client. Of course the inclusion of apps from the iTunes Store is one of the hottest commodities of the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Basically the iPhone is an iPod Touch which includes phone and camera capabilities. Some people have even purchased a few extra components and changed their iPod Touch into an iPhone. I'm not into the jailbreaking required to do this, because I like my warranty, but it is cool. The iPad is currently the newest to join the "i" family. This product takes the iPod Touch and iPhone to another level. It includes all of the components of an iPod Touch, but it acts similar to a laptop. Instead of installing software, you load apps. It also doubles as an ebook reader. You can save files between your computer, iPhone/Touch, and the iPad using apps such as Documents to Go. Many people are purchasing the Pogo Stylus to test out handwriting apps to make this product double as a notebook.
