As the title says, what do you think?
For background, my daughter has been playing with my iPhone since I got it last summer, and has wanted one ever since. She actually uses my iPhone WAY more than her nintendo. Mostly, she plays games, but also she listens to music and watches youtube vidoes (with supervision). She will also text grandma and her cousin sometimes.
Now, I have an older version iPod touch (no speaker) and that wouldn't fly b/c she prefers the speaker. I know the newer iPod touch has the speaker, but I also realize that it still less usefull than the iPhone. My biggest complaint about the iPod touch was that in order to access the internet, you had to be near wifi.
I'm kinda on the fence. She doesn't need a phone (hell, most of us don't "need" one), but it is still very usefull. Perhaps the biggest benefit is that we can always contact each other, and maybe even locate via GPS (is this coming?). That provides a big piece-of-mind, especially if traveling, etc.
Not to mention that it gives me an excuse to upgrade this summer
