In the current climate I believe the iPod touch no longer makes sense as a product. Which is why I think cheap Android phones are selling reasonably well.
I wish you wouldn't say counterproductive things like this -- you know how Apple product strategists listen to you.
A media player with a Retina screen for 200 bucks, with no phone so parents can support it, is a national treasure, and therefore a world treasure.

What are you talking about?
The iPod touch user demographics are quite different than those of the iPhone (or any other smartphone for that matter). The primary users of the iPod touch are in the 13-24 yr old age bracket. The iPhone's primary users are the very desirable 25-49 year olds. Steve himself has said that the iPod touch was training wheels for the iPhone.
Sales of the iPod touch have increased to the point where it is the number one selling iPod.

Sony is actually releasing an Android-based iPod Touch competitor shortly. That tells me there is still a market for PMPs.
What I do wonder is if the costs have come down enough for cellular chips that Apple could release an iPod Touch with a cellular data option much like the iPad so that users can use more than WiFi to connect their iPod Touches to the world.
Ask any Android fan and they will tell you that Android is kicking the iPhone's ass from here to the north pole ,even though recent reports show iOS having a 53% mobile share (all devices) world wide with Android third after JaveME. And they talk about our RDF.

Seems very few here believe anything DigiTimes writes:
Wow! On one hand, I hope you are getting paid by the hour--that is a lot of work!--but on the other hand, that would be sort of sad.

You're going on record saying that iOS has only 18% marketshare for the entire platform?
