The iPhone is great. But I if needed to use it for that length of time, i'd be seeking a more efficient tool. Well, maybe not if it were just for entertainment on a commuter train. But if trying to actually accomplish something online for 3 hours a day, a smart phone definitely isn't the most efficient tool. Except for special circumstances, which do exist, that amount of daily usage seems like a colossal waste of time. A more full featured computer would allow one to do so much more with their life due to all the time savings.
Then again, some people send hundreds of text messages a day, so what do I know?
No, no, we don't surf for food on iPhone, it's for pleasure. ummm... Yes, iPhone as on the go browser is better, than any full featured computer.
Text messages are for free in iPhone contract. To do the same on iPod you need the application and internet connection via hotspot.
Except for the time between the iPhone and Touch updates, I think the Touch is underpriced.
Don?t forget that the successful Back To School program allows you to get a free iPod Touch. I think this will boost sales of the Touch during this time of heavy iPhone sales as it?s the most expensive iPod once can get for free with the purchase of a Mac.

Hmmm, i'm not sure you got what I was trying to communicate...
For instance, it isn't the cost of texting that I was referring to. But rather that sending a few hundred of them a day might not be the best way to spend one's life. The same is probably true for using a pocket computer (smart phone). They are incredibly useful, but can also be used in excess.
Here's a somewhat exaggerated analogy. What would you think of someone who watches 8 hours of TV a day on a one inch diagonal screen? Point being, at some point, extended usage becomes clearly questionable.

The question of habit, I dare say. Yes, we used to send tons of text messages, some do indeed exchange those hundreds of yours, and we in turn fail to understand how the average person could come to spend 900 minutes of voice per month. It's pointless to discuss diversity in gadget usage. I'm just always trying to show differences of iPhone and iPod pricing.

I'd guess, that this guy could be young subscriber of SFR (another carrier) iPhone contract, who just knew, that MTV was available via their TV app.

3 hours a day of iPhone usage? Ouch!
