Why is the iphone cheaper than the ipod touch?

Q. I want to buy an Ipod touch for the apps and myspace/youtube but when I saw the Iphone price then I had to think about it. Whats the catch? I understand the plan price but what if I buy it just to use it for wifi youtube, myspace, and music?

A. The iPhone looks cheaper than it really is. It seems cheaper because at&t subsidizes the price to attract more customers, so at&t is paying about 2/3 of the actual price of the iPhone expecting to make it up over the 2 year period. An iPhone costs $699 and $799 for the 16GB and 32GB respectively.
