I know this is a topic John Gruber has mentioned many times, but I think the persistent lack of an Android competitor to the iPod touch is still little-mentioned and revealing. However, I just saw that Samsung is looking to fill this role, which will be very interesting in its effect on the Android Market. It's basically a Galaxy S, de-phoned. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2043171 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2043171 I agree this is a pretty dire but little-noticed situation for Android. Everyone in middle school who is attached to the iPod touch is going to want or have an iPhone in five years.
