Can they text non apple stuff?
That didnt cross my mind till I was talking to my brother about the ipod touches, his wife said she though they could only communicate with other apple devises.
Pretty sure they can text to anything. Kinda like Skype.
I have a Ipod touch which I use all the time for listening to music.
As for a phone, I would like an Iphone, but I manage to destroy them like they are going out of fashion. My current one has little melted marks all over it from welding. Fallen out of my overalls pocket and fallen into about 120l of 60 grade oil. Left it sitting for a while and it still goes. Once again fell out of my pocket when I was working on top of a 777 dump truck. Fell about 4-5m on to the concrete floor. Looked like it exploded, put it all together and its still going today. Its not a brick either, it has a touch sreen and all that jazz. Pretty amazing phone for $150.
