Here's the rub on why I think this is bunk (but I've been wrong before).
Apple's mobile platform has an app store. Developers sell Apps that run on the iPhone and iPod Touch, which are virtually identical devices (a mere 3 pixels of resolution separate the two).
Introducing more devices fragments their mobile platform, making it more of a pain to develop for.
This is likely a ploy to get concessions from AT&T.
