iPhone or iPod Touch...

I've been passively thinking this over...

iPod touch: 8gig for a wide-screen, touch-controlled iPod with built-in Wifi, the ability to surf the net and run YouTube video over it, and buy music over Wifi.  Oh, and the wifi does WPA unlike my Zaurus due to the card I have.  $299, add $100 for a 16 gig model.

iPhone:  $100 more than the iPod Touch 8gig.  Adds on a AT&T-locked GSM phone, unlimited EDGE for $20 more on current plan or $60 for the lowest postpaid plan for it, a camera that takes halfway decent pics w/o flash, visual voicemail, integrated Yahoo and Google mail.  You're locked in for two years if switching plans.

The safe bet would be the Touch.  While I would get functionality, I'd be locked in and with my employment situation, I may not have this job contract renewed due to budget concerns.  I'll be lucky if they did renew me.  I don't know and I'm not wanting to risk it.

The iPod Touch it is.

Right now, I'm temted to do a major iPod mod.

One of three options:
1. iPod Touch + 80GB iPod 5.5G hard drive. (Currently have this iPod)
2. iPod Touch + 160GB iPod 6.0G hard drive.
3. iPod Touch + 64GB Solid state drive.
