While I have a touch and love it, I can't see myself going for an iphone until it matches the features of my current phone exactly, which I doubt it will.

For free, the main things I use on my phone:
1 - subway map
2 - multi-tasking, I can switch between text messages and the dictionary, subway map, or many other features without closing the text message
3 - a useful dictionary, that cole zhu dictionary which you have to buy is terrible once you start using it.

For me carrying my phone and ipod touch separately is no big deal. As I've mentioned before, at least where I travel the wifi support is spotty which is why I got the wibro egg. I don't think free wifi on it would kill the data usage for them. I think that will be highly dependent on where the individual goes and what they do.

This wasn't bad, but after I bought them, both of them made some strange rule changes which aren't consistent with anything any korean has taught me. Unfortunately there is no way to down-grade an app to a previous version.

Hopefully if more Koreans start using the apps better versions of Gostop will show up with different house rules or even the option of turning on and off a variety of them.
