Interesting that it has the same design aesthetic as the 6/6+ but has a smaller screen (4"). I bet a lot of people would want an iPhone the same size as this thing.

Does this make it a reasonable development device for iOS?

I wonder if the iPhone 6c will be the same size as an iPhone 6, the same size as an iPhone 5, or the same size as this iPod Touch.

Is there even still a market for such devices? While $200 dollars may be a lot less than an unlocked iPhone, its certainly not cheap. Plus you can get an iPhone 6 at that price if you are willing to get into a contract.

Kids under 10 that want to play iOS games.

That's what I'd use it for. Apple sells them at WWDC for betas, I believe.

Outside the US the costs of wireless contracts are much more obvious and $200 sound very different than $700. I could see parents giving one of these to their kids as a Christmas gift.
