While I am sure this will sell well, I can't help but think they missed the boat on this one. It's an amazing piece of technology, but who is it aimed at? For those seeking only a widescreen iPod, who have a lot of music, shows and movies,4 Gigs is clearly not enough, especially at $500. For those who actually use their smartphones for communications, will they really want a smooth device without a keyboard?
I have a 30Gig iPod. I have a phone. I'm happy with both. Why would I want a device that can't store my media with a phone service I won't use?

Let them. Flame away.
