iPhone or iPod Touch for a Psychologist...

[Staren]

Ok guys, I need some help making a choice. It's time for a new iPod. My old iPod Mini (yes Mini not Nano) is starting to show its age and I want video at this point. I'd like to get my media and my PIM into one device so I was thinking of replacing my Blackberry 8700 with an iPhone. Obvious answer right?

Well here's the hitch. I'm a psychology graduate student who does counseling. This number is basically my work line. There's nothing inherently unethical about having basic work data with no client info and personal media on one device, or having a camera with you in counseling sessions, but I have a bit of a problem with it personally. So that brought me to the iPod Touch, but that would mean carrying both a Blackberry and an iPod still. And I’d have to switch between devices for web surfing depending if I have wi-fi in range.

My supervising professor and fellow students don't really know what to tell me on this since multi-use devices are still kind of new new and we are still coming up with the ethical issues of smart phones as we go here. So what do you all think I should get?

Well, since you're asking, I would err on the side of the unease and keep the work data and the personal media separate.

what i keep hearing is taht the ipod touch has very inferior components to the iphone, regarding apps and the screen is this all true? should i look elsewhere for an mp3 player for xmas because im hooked on the wifi idea.
