Do you know half of iPhone users never connect to computer once activated, that means iPhone works totally fine without iTunes for ordinary people. Not to mention iOS5 now support wifi sync and iCloud backup. You may don't care camera, but one of my friend have 12G pictures and videos on iPod touch, it's crucial to users.

That's what I was wondering, donating or buying it eventually, will be good to write a note on donation, so people like me know what will be happening :)
