I agree, stop whining cheez. Most of your posts I have seen, you have had it out for apple products. Give it a rest, if you hate them so much just pretend they don't exist, problem solved.
As for the question of the post, it all depends on what you intend on doing with the products. If you strictly want mp3 playback, nice camera quality, and extreme portability per say I would go with an iPod Touch. Although, the iPad has a decent camera and mp3 playback but not quite as portable as the iPod Touch would be. I love my iPod Touch and my iPhone, I use them everyday. My husband has an iPad and he uses that thing everyday and loves it. He is an avid reader and is able to carry tons of books on his iPad and read them on a whim. For most scenarios though, we mainly bring the iPhone because it can fit in your pocket, which it is pretty much the same as the iPod Touch. Now this is only my husband and I's opinion, which everyone is entitled to. When I read your post though, I think you pretty much answered it with what you wrote after the question.
pcslookout: I want portability but at the same time don't want to have to small of a screen. It is nice if the device will fit in my pocket but having to carry a bag around isn't that big of a deal.
Reading your post there it seems you are leaning towards the iPad. If you take out of context what you said, "Don't want to have too small of a screen, but having to carry a bag around isn't that big of a deal." With that said, I would tell you to go with the iPad because it is a bigger and better version of the iPod.
