Crazy to think my $200 phone is now more powerful than my $1200 desktop Mac was only ten years ago.
same old fallacy again. iPhone total cost is much more than $1200.
- derefr 16y agoYour statement is more fallacious: the iPod Touch has the same hardware, but a TCO exactly equivalent to its retail price. Similarly, you could buy an unlocked iPhone and then just turn off the 3G radio. It would still be strictly more powerful.
- cabacon 16y agoTo pick nits, the iPod touch lacks the camera and GPS. An unlocked iPhone is more expensive than a locked iPhone. None of that makes the grandparent post correct, but it does bear pointing out that your alternatives are either inferior or cost more than $200.
- borism 16y agodo you pirate all software to your iPod touch? also please let me know when I can edit video and likes on it

- ekanes 16y agoNo matter what phone you use, you have to pay a monthly fee to use it... If you buy the hardware alone, it's less than $1200.
- someone_here 16y agoN900 works great as a wifi phone (since it has skype, google talk and google voice) and costs $580. Of course, it's also a nearly complete linux computer.
- borism 16y agoever heard of prepaid SIM cards?
