The GPS on a 3G iPad does not depend on a working cell connection, and functions without a SIM card inserted or a 3G plan enabled. It will use the cell-tower information for faster initial lock, but it does not require it. Google 'ipad gps no sim' for several discussions on this. The iPad 2 uses the Broadcom BCM4751 GPS chip, as also used in the Galaxy Tab 8.9, Acer A100, Asus Transformer, and many others. |

First off, all manufacturers gouge. Second, it doesn't matter what it costs Apple to create it, they will sell it for $500 or more. Third, none of that has any bearing on eBay prices as those are determined by what the market will support. Since iPhones retain a high value in the market, you won't get a working one with no serious flaws for anywhere near the price of a touch.

I can get by with 16GB on a PMP, because I don't carry much in the way of music and videos. If the iPod touch had the same feature set as the iPhone (including 16GB for the base model), I'd seriously consider it as a PMP. Since it doesn't, the Galaxy Player is my PMP of choice. As to the iPod touch 4 I currently own, it sits at home in a speaker dock playing Pandora, BBC, and audiobooks. For audio streaming, it's superb. For anything else, it's pretty worthless. That's why I want it shrunk to the size I showed in post 10. Then it would be a great audio player. |

Yeah, so? Unless something drastically changes, I don't think Apple will be willing to let go of their 60+% profit margin. That's just wishful thinking. Last edited by ilovejedd; 08-21-2012 at 12:23 PM. |
