While the iPhone may or may not be "cool" for the younger set, the iPod Touch is from everything I can tell massively popular with tweens, teens and college students (and while there are now some iPod Touch Android equivalents, nothing close to the ubiquity of the Touch). For a while Apple's educational discount just flat out gave an 8GB iPod Touch to students/teachers when they bought a Mac. This seems like the real 'gateway drug' to the iOS ecosystem.
