My new lust machine, you will be mine.  (Is it cool to spend scholarship money on this?)  Not sure how to pluralize the touch, note the lower case as well for the future.  What is the most intriguing aspect of the touch from a developer standpoint is not what it is missing but the somewhat odd partnership with Starbucks.  A Starbucks icon will appear in your touch dock when you are close to their wifi network.  Right now that means buying music from Starbucks, but the future may be broadcast.

What if other companies can broadcast adverts and store fronts for you when you pass their wifi system.  (One hopes you can choose not to display, but if you're interested this is an interesting future).  Going to get your cup of Joe in the morning and buying music can one day be, walking into a hospital and doing the paperwork on your touch before seeing the receptionist. Not waiting in line for the movies or restaurants because you just made your reservations on your touch.  Entering a Museum and having a tour and description of the artifact or art piece would be great.   The future is now, and devices like Apple iPod touch is leading the way.  You can take that iPhone Jesus phone, I'll take the touch.

Edited Feb 19th, 2008: I guess Lust Factor 12 for the iPhone, counting the days for SDK and next gen.
