There is no iPod Touch model on which you can run all the iPhone apps, since clearly the apps that support phone functions, or that rely on 3G network connectivity or GPS or built-in compass will not find these properties built into an iPod Touch. Nor will the apps that use the camera. In principle, you could run a GPS app that uses a dock- mounted GPS unit plugged into the base of the iPod Touch. I was interested in the TomTom app for that reason, because the holder that they sell for mounting the iPhone for car use contains a GPS signal in the dock connector that plugs into the base of the iPhone to boost signal. This means that it can also supply GPS functionality to an iPod Touch. In principal, any GPS app could then be used with the iPod touch. Other tear-down reports tell of the iPod Touch containing a later-generation Broadcomm chip than is in the iPhone 3GS. This is capable of supporting the faster 802.11N wireless connections, and FM reception, although neither of these functions is currently active in the iPod Touch 3G. It's possibile these features could be activated in a later software release by Apple.
