I like my iPod Touch. But it's a different beastie from an iPad--just the fact that it fits in a pocket and is going to be with me anyway makes it fall into a different class of objects from something like an iPad (or a Kindle--though I love mine) that I have to decide to take along and then go get a backpack or a messenger bag for. I can imagine having to choose between them, but that's like having to choose between a toaster and a microwave when you can't afford both. You're probably planning to get the second when you can afford it.
And as for people buying Apple's iPhone rather than its iPad, that's a "problem" most companies would *love* to have. A lot of the companies making Android tablets, for example.
Now, I think it's great that companies other than Apple make phones and music players and tablets and such. I want people to be keeping Apple working hard to produce better and better products to stay on top. Any company will just coast if there is no competition and I don't imagine Apple is any exception.
So if you like something else--go for it! Hell, tell me what you like about it; maybe there's something wonderful out there I haven't found yet.
