I try to keep a stiff upper lip about not having an iPhone. Just couldn’t afford it — not with the $75 a month or so AT&T charges for service on top of the $199 upfront cost for the device. I could, however, afford the $229 iPod touch — and got it as a gift, as it happened. It has most of the same goodies: a Web browser, email, YouTube. And it stores way more music than the iPhone. Plus, the other day I used it to call China. Yup, a call around the world — on a device that doesn’t have a phone.
