Hi,
The tarrifs seem quite high to me. £35 ($70+) for the lowest with just 200 minutes free, especially when you are shelling out for the mobile too. By comparison the lowest tarrif (Plan) in the US is $59.99 and you get more than twice the minutes free and evening and weekends free too. I currently pay less than half that and get a better deal.
I reckon the iPod touch plus a 3G mobile that actually has all the bits you need seems like a better setup. I wonder if you could link them either using bluetooth or WiFi so you can roam wirelessly from the iPod touch and actually have a decent dowload/upload speed. If that's possible it'd make more sense.

Well, bluetooth is out of the question since it's been confirmed there's no bluetooth in the iPod Touch.
WiFi, however, is another thing. I guess it would require for your phone to be able to somewhat be able to broadcast its signal... is this something possible?

Yeah Si,
It has WiFi so most of the places I spend any amount of time can work with it. I had a quick look but as far as I can tell there is no phone in existance that allows you to create a WiFi hotspot from it. If there was it would be a brilliant little invention.
Let me know how you get on with it as they look pretty slick.
