Karan Varindani:
The iPod touch is a lot of kids’ first Apple device. That initial experience is what’ll convince them to get an iPhone in the future. And with Android (and now Windows Phone 8) strongly competing with the iPhone, it’s in Apple’s best interest to make that initial experience as appealing as possible.
While I’m not sure Windows Phone 8 is competing with anyone at this point, let alone “strongly,” Karan’s case is solid.
