Lots of frankly silly comments here suggesting parents buy an iPhone without a SIM instead of an iPod Touch?
Assuming you buy them new, the cheapest iPhone is $399 vs. the $199 iPod Touch. Buying used is often a mixed bag. An iPad Mini is $499!
This is basically just a kick in the pants to parents who bought these for their kids.
Guess those parents are going to go off and buy another brand and type of product now, since Apple refuses to offer a price-equivalent product for kids like this. I don't think it would've hurt Apple to keep producing this product...
