the difference between the iPhone and the iTouch is primarily that the former has voice communication. All the applications which this article describes are basically able to be performed by the iTouch and doesn't require the wireless connection of a cell phone but only a wifi connection. To this end, there are numerous existing mobile devices which can now perform this. The fact that it is integrated into a phone is not a significant step except to the providers of cell phone service or, perhaps, of having a single device, an electronic swiss army knife so to speak.
The smart phone has substantive social networking functions, including education, team collaboration, knowledge management, etc. Time to make the development teams more interdisciplinary (humanities, social sciences and the business community)
