    I can see this being a cheap version of the iPhone...as apple2orange said it will get turned into a iPhone sooner or later...I wonder if they will make a CDMA version...

    good idea, not every one can afford an iphone/ipad or even get a contract for a phone, were i live there is very little wifi spots but 3g is really good, basicly gonna be like an ipad 3g mini.....the amount of times i wished i had a 3g connection on my touch 1g when iv been out and left my phone...i had to buy a seprate wifi dongle for when i was out and about using my touch....A good idea if apple dont release a cheaper iphone.....

    This would be great. I can just imagine all the iPod Touch owners who get into that "no internet when you need it" situation.

    If 3G time is available on per use basis like a Tracfone air time purchase i think it could come in as a very useful addition to the market. Especially for those of us who more commonly text than call when using our phones. Just PLEASE dont require a contract and make text time reasonable...i would love to stream music away from a wi fi hotspot with a 3G enabled itouch but i suspect that would be too demanding in time used and therefore cost...

    Actually, from what I've read, Skype does not work very well when transferred over 3G or possibly even 4G(it just doesn't work)--trust me I would love if it did. Broadband works far better or local wifi.
