Ditto with the iPhone. It is pretty thick & clunky now, but when one considers all that it is in it, it is VERY small, since it has everything in one device.

I don't know about fragile. It is solid-state; no moving parts except four buttons. The screen can be scratched or cracked, but most MP3 players have that possibility, and no easier than a Touch.

I consider it to be a pocket PC; as such, I'd never carry it on a daily basis. I'd only carry it on vacations, trips, and heavy shopping. Since I wouldn't carry it around, its MP3 feature would be worthless to me.
The iPhone 4 is the right size and the touch should've used its form factor. If I get a touch, I'll end up getting a thick case to protect it and bulk it up. I hate how thin it is.
My MP3 player is much easier to carry, because it's much smaller. Also, I don't have to worry about it's durability.
The touch is different things for different people. To each his own.
