What I haven't heard is any speculation about a GPS chip. The chips aren't that expensive and you don't need a cell phone carrier if you aren't using a-GPS so why not? That would make the touch an amazing device. Pair that with a Verizon dumbphone and you basically have a iPhone without the at&t BS.
@The Lab: Apple's in a tricky spot, though--on one hand they have to make the Touch cool enough that people want to buy it, but not so cool that they buy it instead of an iPhone.
@Lizard_King: Right? How cool is that feature. I vastly underestimated the fun of looking at a map and puling up pictures I took at various locations. Almost makes me like iPhoto, if only it wasn't slow as hell.
@Jux needs a new name for his fantasy football team: To an extent you're missing the point: the iPod is no longer a "music player," it's now a multi-media "lifestyle device" that happens to play music, along with doing a hundred other things. That's been Jobs' goal all along--push people in the direction of digitizing more of their social interaction, and make Apple devices that help them do this.
I live in Brazil, have a 6Mbps connection which hardly ever reaches 2Mbps, and I'm an exception since most people are still on 1Mbps... so I can't even express how envious I am...
But that's how things are around these parts. Law doesn't enforce ISPs to give us the speeds they put on their ads, the prices are absurdly expensive, and having a Smartphone here is something to ponder a lot since Internet rates for cellphones is a luxury most people can't pay.
Not long ago we had a major ISP crashing down (fortunately not mine) leaving hundreds of thousands of costumers (including public services) offline for an entire day leaving damages of over a million bucks and still nothing much was done...
I hate the fact that my broadband speeds are as slow as they are, living .
I have to WAIT to misinterpret and judge somebody else's culture? Awwwww, but I want it NOW!

wow, all you butt hurt europeans have a lot of catching up to do when you guys finally get the internets across the pond. first lesson i want everyone to focus on is called sarcasm.
thanks for saying this. When some americans start saying in bastardized english, something about other countries you never know what you will listen... some there think South America is Texas.
Hey, communist, socialist, Kenyan, Nobama lover! This is 'merica! And so what if it's faster and more affordable, ours is BETTER! So you can just get out!
I'm from the Azores, and we will eventually get this, but not in a near future. The first place to have this services first is Lisbon, the capital city. But well, our name is in the site, i'm happy. And i have no use for such speeds.

Actually, I'd love to have an MP3 player with a camera.

Are you sure that its the Azores that have this, or the mainland (i.e. Lisbon)? Because the Azores (White dot) are pretty fucking far, actually.
