I was going to say it was an iPhone, which is funny considering I own a Nexus One, and the only way I would own an iPhone or iPad is if someone gave it to me free. Or paid me to use it.

There is a MyTouch smartphone, which might be the source of the confusion; you can certainly browse the web on it.

@Susan#16: It’s quite possible that they’re lucky enough to live in a city with a public wireless infrastructure (e.g. Tallahassee, Florida; Fredericton, New Brunswick), or a place with a lot of unsecured WAPs - but I agree, more probably a smartphone.

iPod Touch is basically an iPhone minus the phone part.

It couldn’t be an iPod Touch unless she has wireless internet outside. More likely one of the smartphones.

The product IS called an iPod Touch, but people have been calling it an iTouch pretty much since it came out.

There is no product called an “iTouch.” There’s an iPod Touch. That’s as close as you get from Apple products. If you Google it, you get this awesome time capsule of a website: http://itouch.net/ (I wonder if they’re still in business?)

Then again, people called them Palm Pilots a full decade after they dropped “Pilot” from the name, so…

Is there such thing as an “iTouch”? I am familiar with the “iPod Touch” and even people who refer to it as an “iTouch”, but it is still an iPod.

iTouch is a separate device from an iPod. My children have iTouches. Woe to the ignorant parent who calls them iPods!
