I bought it to listen to music on. It also surfs the web.
Done and done. I need not these "cellular telephones" you speak of.
The Touch is a badass media player; I would pay like $200 for an iPod Touch that doesn't do all the stuff that the current guys do: just have a slick interface, nice case, portable music store/ podcast downloading, and good capacity.
Oh wait then I'd be buying a Zune HD.
