Since smartphoners have taken over, we are seeing most businesses insisting on users' owning and sharing their phone numbers. WiFi-only devices like iPod Touch could have played an important role in resisting this trend - especially with kids. Too bad there never were any popular WiFi-only models in the Android world.

There is the WiFi-Only Ipads,so not all hope is lost! This had led to the new "Ipad Kid" trend though which is loathsome at best.

Just don't put a sim card in it?

I think apps that could run on an ipod within its restrictions, might require that kind of stuff
