In a first for the company, O2 - who are exclusively selling the iPhone in the UK - are now stocking iPods alongside Apple’s cellphone. The iPod Touch is now available on the O2 website alongside its cellular sibling, although it’s not yet clear whether they’ll also be sold in-store. Prices are, unsurprisingly, on a par with that charged by Apple themselves - £199 for the 8GB, £269 for the 16GB.
It’s uncertain as to whether this was a planned roll-out or whether O2, suffering fewer iPhone sales than predicted, is looking to take advantage of MultiTouch’s charms and sell the iPod Touch to individuals put off by the cellphone’s 18 month contract and monthly bill.
Have you seen an iPod Touch in an O2 store? Let us know in the comments.

Yes they are available to buy in store. They are on the same demo table as the iPhone.The sales person told me that they also sell them. Makes me think O2 see’s them as being useful as a PDA device.

Yeah seen the touch in o2 shops from launch day of the iphone, but passed two o2 shops today and they have billboards outside advertising the fact they are selling the touch, i wonder if the high price of the iphone is putting people off (certainly is for me)
