Apple has released iPod Touch and later iPhone. These devices seem to be quite similar, but at the same time they have a number of differences. What are they?

In what way do iPhone and iPod Touch differ?

A lot of people want to buy one, but which one to choose? Both the gadgets are no dirt-cheap, so the choice is quite a task.

In fact, the devices are quite similar as far as what they do, but there are some points of difference.

The similarities:

Both the devices have wi-fi
Both of them can function as an iPod
Both iPhone and iPod Touch have a note pad to take notes
Both of them have a calendar to add events and reminders
Both have picture library
Both the devices possess YouTube capabilities

The difference (It means that these features are possessed by iPhone only):

An inbuilt camera
Maps option (via Google maps)

This feature can be extremely useful for those who get lost often. This makes your life safer as you can find out where you are and then directions from where you are physically.

Internet browsing without using Wi-Fi
EDGE capabilities
The device gas speakers
But at the same time the iPhone costs a little more

So what conclusion can we arrive at? While both the devices cost about the same amount of money, iPhone seems a better choice. In fact, iTouch is an iPhone without a number of features. Moreover, iTouch is not a phone. Then why buy a less functional device for the same money?
