I develop games for Android, but now I want to try the iOS platform. Actually, I have Mac Mini, but I haven't enought money to buy iPhone, so I think about buying iPod Touch instead. Is it possible to develop games (Unity engine) using iPod? What about games performance? Sorry if I ask something stupid, I never developed for iOS before, thanks!

We use an iTouch for development (cheaper than buying iPad2's). So yes, you can definitely develop for iOS using an iTouch/iPod.
You will also need to join the Apple developer program before you can deploy to the iTouch - Apple has a $99 annual fee for an individual. Even if you purchase Unity you will need buy into the Apple dev program too.

Apple provides a SDK including a simulator. Never trust the simulator completely, but you can use it easily for day by day job, and test it on a real iphone, ipod touch or similar only from time to time.
