I've dropped my 3G too many times to count. It's in rough shape and cracked on the edges and cracked near the headset, but it still works like a champ.
If that thing can be jailbroken it looks like it'd be a good change (It looks like it can take more of a beating, as one of the largest flaws of all the iPhones and Touch's is they break EXTREMELY easy. I've even heard of them break just from temperature changes and humidity and such).
They break extremely easily? I have the first gen touch, and that thing has been through hell and back and only has the usual wear and tear scratches to show for it, no problems at all. Not sure if the new ones are cheaper or not, so that is always possible.
The touch is different and more durable (no glass in touch). The iPhone is very prone to cracks and shell breaks
Um... the ipod touch screen is glass.
Looks like all those conspiracy theorists calling this a PR stunt just got shot down:

I personally think they deserve what they get. What they did is questionable morally, legally and ethically and I personally disliked that they named the engineer involved. His future job prospects are currently close to zero. He really should hope he keeps his job at Apple.
Oddly, I see no real problem with it. It just created hype for the 4g :huh:

Same. Did they ever demand the phone back? As far as I know they only issued a cease and desist order.
