iPod Touch and iPhone Similarities

iPod TouchThe new iPod Touch seems to support all the features the iPhone does. There is still no Weather, Mail, Stocks or Google Maps on the device but it seems they are coming. Sources inside Apple said that the iPod Touch and the iPhone “use the same damn binaries.” It looks like the company decided not to include the above mentioned features in Touch. The reason behind the move might be that then the two devices will be too similar. If there is a difference between the two it stands in the fact that the iPhone is more communication oriented and the iPod Touch is more entertainment-oriented. Both gadgets use the same operating system and frameworks but there are differences in user interface elements.

I would love to see a way to transfer iPhone applications to the iPod Touch and the other way around. It would be an interesting combination that could be very popular with users. Apple is currently launching and marketing a lot of products and it will be interesting to see which one will have bigger success.
