Does anyone know if iPhone is required for these features, or if the iPod
Touch works just as well?
(I take it there's no microphone in the touch...is this correct? but I
suspect the GPS works fine, or is there also no GPS on the Touch? And you'=
d
need apps which don't require live network connection to operate, i.e. not
google maps)
Missing out on the world of apps, but not missing out on the world of
dropped calls and making ATT richer.
