Apple's new iPod touch isn't capable of making phone calls, though if you hit up the "More Features" section of the device's product page, you might be led to believe otherwise. Why? Because Apple sucks at Photoshop.
That seems to be the most reasonable explanation as to why promotional images of the fourth-gen iPod touch show a phone function in the lower left corner, just like the iPhone. Furthermore, Apple replaced the iPod icon with a Music icon in the new iPod touch, though the promo shots show otherwise.
What most likely happened is someone at Apple got lazy and Photochopped a pic of an iPhone screen onto an iPod touch body, thus qualifying Apple for another ticket on the Fail Boat, right behind Microsoft's Photoshop team.
Well that was fast. A refresh of the product page shows someone at Apple knows how to wield a Photoshop brush, after all.

I missed that :( But all of the images on the more features page have names ending with the date "20100901.jpg". Only the folders image has name ending with the date "20100906.jpg". :D Lets hope they don't change that too XD

Paul, good work. Negative apple articles are always great. In the future when your writing a negative article about Apple (as all Apple articles should be negative) you should leave Microsoft out of it and don't post positive updates unless it's about a non-apple article.
And yes I am a little bit twisted.
