Me Again - Its £100?

OK, now people who actually need to do data on the move can decide between top level conventional phones and iPhone.

Amongst that segment - I imagine that will split between the antisocial white ear plug commuters who are familiar with the look 'n feel of the interface and more normal sociable folk who can read the printed word on their travels and prefer buttons to touch screens. I also refer you to the mostly pointless tablet PCs MS still pushes, technology before application.

So given its an even playing field on price lets see what wins. My money is on buttons.

However ruggedness could be an issue, if the iPod can avoid the problems of collapsing keys and displays that normal phones seem to suffer in heavy use and be made water and dust resistant.............
