Any phone with the vibrate function creates the phantom throb.

I thought I was going nuts for a long time until I heard about other friends experiencing the same sensations.

Will Apple use its cash to bid for the 700 Mhz wireless spectrum. I doubt it. However, Apple does have ever closer links with Google. It would seem to be in both of their interests to see this wireless spectrum exploited in an open access model. Google benefits by enabling access to their search and related services. Apple benefits by creating cutting edge products that utilize the wireless spectrum.

Neither Apple or Google have experience in building and operating a national communications network. It would seem to make sense for them to partner with another company that has that expertise. At the same time such a move might lower the risks and limit the capital outlay that would be required.

One more thing turns out to be the iPod touch. Basically an iPhone without the phone. A similar user interface to the iPhone. The multi-touch glass display and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi and a Safari browser.

We can expect the hacking community to crack this baby open and add extras to this device just like has already happened with the iPhone. Much of the hard work has already been done.

The addition of W-Fi and Safari is a brilliant move by Apple. They are reported to be on target to sell 1 Million iPhones by the end of the month. The iPod touch is only going to accelerate the growing popularity of Safari/WebKit. This move on its own may be enough to seal the iPhone/WebKit's position as the defacto Web 2.0 mobile terminal.

The only surprise is that the device didn't come with a hard drive. At least they offered a 16GB version which will be priced alongside the 8GB iPhone at $399.
