For some people who don't want an expensive cell contract, or for some reason need to carry a different phone, the iPod Touch is a great way to get in on a modern mobile OS. Those have to count big to developers, since iPod Touch owners are just as likely to use and buy apps (if not maybe more so since they're likely offline more, so the browser and webapps are less useful). What's really amazing is that there's no <$200 Android powered iPod Touch competitor. There's a market gap there in my opinion ... I think every smartphone OS should have a non-cellular device as well.
