I think people only see whats on TV. The iPhone is advertized extensively. I have not yet seen one commercial or ad about the Touch and it's features. So if anyone sees a small device with a touch screen, they think its an iPhone because that how the iPhone is shown on TV. I wish they would start advertizing the Touch.

welp - that's what happens when a company (htc) makes a phone similar to another more popular phone..

it's just another example of apple's brand name blitzing. the public gets inundated with marketing for the brand and it becomes the benchmark. just like when people look at your Zen Vision MP3 player and ask if that's your iPod. unfortunately we are likely witnessing this with the cellphone market too.
