iPhone or iPod Touch...

strredwolfI'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.
