iPod Touch or iPhone Dilemma

Practicality wise (kung iPhone and iPod Touch lang ang choices nyo), if I were you, na kuripot din (ah sige na nga nagtitipid :p) pero syempre gusto rin ng gadget iPod Touch na lang. Why?

First, cheaper ang iPod Touch. $100 USD cheaper ang iPod Touch sa iPhone. Kung OK lang sayo gumastos ng additional $100 para sa camera, bluetooth, SMS and GPRS, go ahead! Get an iPhone! Pero kung may sarili ka nang camera, advise ko wag na lang.

Second, kung yung camera ang habol nyo sa iPhone wag ka ng bumili. Maganda ang shots from iPhone kaso hindi sya masyadong user friendly lalo na kung ang favorite subject mo ay ang sarili mo (hahahaha!).

Third, kaya mo bang ilabas ang iPhone sa jeep? sa daan? kung hindi, san mo lang sya magagamit? sa office? sa bahay nyo? anong sense? pano kung emergency, pano ka mako-contact? sa spare mong phone. kamusta naman... nag-iPhone ka pa!

Forth, kung medyo conscious kayo sa physical appearance, mas magaan ang iPod Touch, mas malapad pero mas maliit.

Fifth, wala na akong maisip eh. Hehehe.. Hindi, wala akong maisip/makitang advantages ng iPhone sa iPod Touch. Yun lang..

Well, kung may choice ako, iPod Touch na lang and Nokia 1100 (yung tamang pangtxt lang and call). Kung ayaw nyo ng dalawang gadgets, mag-Sony Ericsson P1 na lang kayo or hintayin nyo na lang yung Google phone (cool yun!) or Microsoft phone (yuck!).
