Xcode: iPod Touch Simulator?

I'd like to test my app on the ipod touch. But in Xcode I don't see a simulator for this (I only see a simulator for iphone 3gs, iphone 4, and ipad).

Do you know if there's a way to run an ipod touch simulator?

Just use the iPhone simulator. For simulation purposes, it is the same.

Why does it matter? The Simulator isn't simulating the actual hardware differences here. For example, it doesn't provide a camera. The only difference between "iPhone" and "iPhone 4" is the screen resolution, and in fact the most recent version of the simulator doesn't even say "iPhone 4", it now says "iPhone (Retina)". Similarly the only real difference between "iPhone" and "iPad" is the screen size and the chrome the simulator presents.
