If you have no particular need for cellular data, get an iPod Touch. It will do everything you've just asked for (actually, that's about how I use mine), without tying you to AT&T for $50+/mo for two years. It's also cheaper for the same storage capacity, if you care about media.
If you don't care about media, you might want to get the 32GB version anyway, as opposed to the 8GB version, since it has twice the RAM and a faster processor; it will be able to support pseudomultitasking in OS4 once it's released.
If you might want it as your phone, however, or you want a wireless data plan, you'd prefer the iPhone. In that case, wait, because the next generation of iPhone is going to be released before the end of the month (see also: the Gizmodo incident).
