Hard to argue with that. Why buy a unitasker when you don't do the "task?"

That I can argue with. I have an iPod Touch that I use basically as a small portable internet tablet on my wi-fi network. I don't listen to music on it -- I have a Sansa Clip for on-the-go music and Squeezeboxes (also controlled via the iPod Touch) for at home.

And I'm not young. Well, I think I am; marketers disagree.
