Besides the Phone feature, are the dimensions the same as the Ipod Touch? So you can get accesories for it, and it'll work on both?

I'm asking this because Best Buy says that there is a difference, and I wanted confirmation

The iPod Touch is like the iPhone's deformed twin.

The iPod touch doesn't have internet everywhere, a camera, a phone, and GPS.

I believe the dimensions are somewhat different and I don't think that the same accessories would work. Also the iPhone has a camera.

the ipod touch is significantly thinner than the iphone so cases aren't interchangeable.

The differences are that the Iphone is a phone, it has a camera, and it can surf the internet

the Ipod touch has wi-fi and can connect to your wireless internet. but once you are far enough away from your wireless internet it won't be able to connect I am talking about how the IPhone can get internet anywhere.

iPod Touch doesn't have a camera or a phone, and is slightly slimmer than the iPhone. And apparently the Internet browser doesn't work everywhere like it does for the iPhone, and you can't use text messages on an iPod Touch. Also, not all of the Apps from the App Store available for the iPhone are available for the iPod Touch, such as Shazam (the one that lets you hold the iPhone to a speaker and tell you what song is playing if you don't know what it is).

Everyone has opinions, honestly I the iPod touch helped me alot from remembering passwords, important dates, checking accounts when I wasn't near a computer, showing people funny videos, photos, gaming on the go, I could go on... As for the question no they are different and you have to make sure your getting it for the right generation like the ipod touch 2g or 1g.

As noted by many the iTouch is thinner than the iPhone so you need different cases for them.

The main difference is that the iTouch doesn't have the phone components. That means better battery life but you can't browse the web via 3G, anywhere.

If you're planing on getting one than clearly the iPhone is the better buy.

GPS plus no internet (since not a phone). Meaning you it wont be close to as useful as the Iphone. Iphone is so helpful. We got lost today going to a party. The GPS could not find it (old map). My brother took out the iphone went to google maps and found the exact location. Things like that.

Iphone is thicker. When buying a case for the itough you have to get the one made for the itouch. itouch is thinner

So overall main difference beside making phone calls is the internet. Being able to use the internet almost anywhere compared to only in wifi locations. This is really really big.

One's an expensive paper weight.

The other plays music.
