iPhone without the Phone
I was wondering if anybody knew if apple is gonna release an iphone that doesnt include the phone and is cheaper then it is now... The iPhone right now wont work with alot of cell phone companies, and also it doesnt have much space for music/movies/pics... So it would be really nice to have a touchscreen IPOD without the phone in it.

I suspect the next iteration of the iPod with multitouch will be sufficient for my purposes, but I have no need for a do-everything phone. To me, a phone is a phone, and a computer is a computer. I am unconvinced that they should be merged.
Thankfully, however, I probably am in the minority here. Apple can make its money on iPhone, build some revenue, and then give me my NewNewton (or whatever they call it) when they have some money to blow.
I'm inclined to think putting touch screens on all iPods would be a bad idea. It's nice being able to reach in your pocket and turn up the volume or skip a song without looking. It will be hard to do that with a touch screen. I'm not sure the iPWOP is for me but I think Apple should offer one.
but to be serious, that is a really good idea. i do hope they do that. but with bigger storage space.

i totally agree with you... the iphone doesn thave enough memory for my media files... the iphone is the MOST CHEERFUL (in terms of storage) ipod ever; but the COOLEST phone ever.
the iphone is the MOST CHEERFUL
I think you've mistaken this board for a middle school cafeteria.
We're adults here. Hateful language doesn't go over so well.
Considering most phones are ~$100, it's say cutting it out would shave what, $40 off the total price? Taking off the camera might take another $20.
You'd still be paying for the large screen, wifi, expensive processors, sensors, etc.
That's the beauty of convergence—the parts overlap. The flipside is that cutting out one piece of that doesn't appreciably lower the final cost.
A phone-less iPhone couldn't realistically come below $450.
