I knew it. Expect apple to scale up the sizes of the touch models to about the same of the classics, eventually phasing out the latter. My old 5th(?) gen ipod (before they had video!) is still holding up well. I'll wait till the 30 Touch comes down to "human" prices and will get that. 30 GB has lasted me about 3 yrs now.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> i learned my lesson with the first generation ipod -- never, never buy an apple product after it's been out for more than 2 months... you're just asking for it.

i'm still waiting for the 32gb iphone... hopefully with 3g. until then, it's not worth trading in my ipod for.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> I am personally now wondering how long will it be before they bring out a 32GB Iphone. I have not bought one yet and every time I get ready to buy one there is a new update or upgrade. I already know I want the most space possible for my buck....

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> Bought a 16 GB touch 9 days ago, just in time for a weeklong business trip where I would be at a conference center with a total WiFi blanket. Watched movies on the plane rides, read my gmail account while I should have been paying attention to work. Surfed & read Gizmodo with Safari. Loved it. However, 16 GB makes managing my 24 GB music library a PITA.

Last Sunday I won the Superbowl pool. What to do with that extra cash? It was sitting in an envelope on my dresser when...

OMG! Apple announces the 32 GB Touch! It's like a Message From God!

Today I visited the Apple store. Old Tough + Receipt + $39 "restocking fee" + $99 price difference and now I have a new 32 GB Touch and it... is... GOOD!

...and with the stash o' cash from illegal sports betting my wife will never know what I spent!

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> i wish people would stop complaining about flash. ive used devices that implement it and its usually sluggish drains battery and and just basically not a good experience i look at the arcos 700 and the sony psp as some examples. lets keep in mind its a phone not a laptop. no 3g sucks but there working on it for now we can get more space, and some cool third party apps coming. to be honest i would like it better if they just stick an 80 gig hard drive in the touch and call it a day. it'll be buulky but most people would be happy hell my 80 gig 5 gen works fine.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> Apple is a predictable beast. $100 more for the iPhone 16gb is as predictable as the sunrise. Don't you just wish Apple would say, hey $25 more for the 16gb or hey no more 8gb, a 16gb at a 8gb price. They are "margin" predictable, everything at 40% gross or better.

scolbert

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> 3G doesn't have anything to do with the 700MHz spectrum. Apple if/when they release a 3G iPhone will park it on AT&Ts current 3G frequency range which just happens to match Europes 3G. One phone, two continents worth of coverage.

Question though, that a few people have asked, and noone has answered(least not that I saw). Adding 16GB to an iPod Touch adds $100, why does adding 8GB to an iPhone add $100? I'm guessing there is a simple explanation, but it's too late for me to figure it out.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> I'd be annoyed that I just got a 16GB Touch if I didn't get a major pre-update discount and spent considerably less than $500. Now if only Apple would let me refuse their petty $20 update instead of giving people an error message when they click "No Thanks" and proceeding to prompt me to buy it every time I plug in my Touch.

Is it enough space? No, not really, but I can compensate by just updating the syncing regularly. Alas, Apple sees this as an opportunity to harass me for not fitting into their appropriate accounting model.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> @redman042: Exactly what I was thinking. My 80 comfortably holds everything I have with some overhead. An 80 gig Touch...? I'd more than likely drop $500 on it.

snitch29

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> Gulp... I know I said that I'd buy a 30gb+ Touch at any price but I think $499 is wayyyyyyy too much. Once again, I was expecting the 32 gb for $399 and $299 for the 16gb and a drop of the nearly useless 8gb device.

snitch29

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> So how can Apple justify charging $100 for 16GB more on the touch, but only give you 8GB more on the iphone for the same $100. Is it not the same type of memory?

RobotVampire

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> @Noobs-R-Us: Those aren't good excuses because 1. The phone is already expensive, more expensive than other PDA phones WITH 3G and 2. If they had replacable batteries or a heavier phone, both of which i'd deal with, the power wouldn't be an issue.
Plus, theres like a DOZEN pda phones with 3g on the att site.
The bottom line is if they released a 3G iphone tomorrow I'd order it tomorrow and get rid of my treo and ipod.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> @jaydez: For me and many business users, it's the lack of using as a modem that is a stumbling block. I guess the 3G model will see it enabled.

Not true. Jailbreak it and you can use as a modem. Anyway the speed without 3g is still decent. And for all of you who hate apples policies about fixing things, Ive broken 3 iphones due to my own roughness and gotten replacements on all without an problems. You just have to find the right person at the genius bar. I'm no fanboy but there's alot of haters here.

Escamotage

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> I just dont think a 32gb device is offering enough storage to justify getting the Touch 1 - at a $500 price point and 2 - over the 160GB classic for $150 less. Guess it depends on the user. I have over 45gb of music alone to say nothing of the DVDs/TV shows on my hard drive. My 80gb video ipod is full and even then I cant synch everything on there at once. Oh well, maybe the next iteration will get up to 64gb on the Touch or 32gb on the phone.

Noobs-R-Us

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> For all those who think $100 for 8GB more is ridiculous, remember that flash is still very expensive compared to hard drive. Price for flash memory goes up almost exponentially as more storage is added, as of now.

I do think 32GB for $500 is quite ridiculous, given how Apple always make a healthy profit with their products, but high price for the flash memory can't be ignored. Also, I still remember when the 30GB 3rd gen iPod (which uses hard drive) was $500 5 years ago, and that was the time when small-form factor hard drives were still very expensive, so this is really nothing new.

solgae1784

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> Still no flash or 3G? Not to mention other small almost manditory features like MMS and video recording. Sad we have to hack the thing just to implement trivial features that a run-of-the-mill $20 phone comes with standard.

Using the Safari browser on the iPhone is definitely the most comfortable internet surfing a cell phone user can experience yet it lacks the speed of 3G and no flash plugins. Sucks when I come to Gizmodo and other sites that embed flash videos that I really want to watch but can't because Apple I guess doesn't realize how popular embedding flash videos are? Don't want to waste time creating a flash plugin almost all iPhone users will use?

They keep updating the phone which I am grateful for since no other phone manufacturer would spend as much time as Apple does on a product that has been out on shelves for as long as it has. Regardless, they need to start bringing out features that even casual users and non-experienced cell phone users are noticing are missing.

Bloodpool

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> @bryanoak: Yeah, I bet a price drop on the higher capacities will come down the lines in two or three months.

zeroprime

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> The iPhone isn't even a year old yet. They're not going to release a 3G that fast. They put too much development into the non-3G and want to make all the profit they can from it before moving on. Plus, they're not going to drop prices yet because they can still get the prices they're asking for this relatively new product and it would totally piss off early adopters -- as they've already done once.

My prediction is no 3G or price changes until the 1 year anniversary.

As for the cost of that 32GB touch, I think it's a bit ridiculous. You're getting into low-end notebook range, which puts a very limited device into competition with a lot of faster, more versatile devices. Still, I'm sure it will be perfect for all those Starbucks lovers that need it to match their new Macbook Air.

Don't get me wrong, I love my iPhone, but now I'm bummed. It's good news for everybody getting onboard from here on out, though.

NICE ICONS iPHONE FOLKS! Gotta say the icons are nice.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> @weatherman: I'm wondering if you've used an iPod touch in real life? What use is a high res screen when it's only 3" across? The wifi is seamless, and the dev platform is coming in a couple weeks. Sure, bluetooth is still non existent, and those apps may cost you a Jefferson... but get your facts straight before you pullout the shotgun criticisms.

Now I'm getting a Sony Vaio TZ!

I though Sony f--ked you over with their Gadgets, but Apple has won that war hands down.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> I seriously just bought an 8 gig iPhone yesterday. Oh well, probably for the better and not waste $100 for an extra 8 gigs I probably wouldn't really need anyways.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> Where's Obama at? Seriously, what's the point in releasing just a 16gb iPhone without any other upgrades?

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> Maybe it's early, but they way you've written those prices, and they way they appear on screen makes for really difficult reading.

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> UGH! Way too expensive the 32GB iPod Touch I've been dreaming of, I mean I thought they would eliminate the 8GB version and just keep the 16GB and 32GB with the same prices as before...

Luisfersolano

]]> <![CDATA[iPhone 16GB and iPod Touch 32GB Available]]> 32 gb is pretty close to the minimum that I need in a full-size player, but I still just don't see enough of a value in the iPod Touch to justify the price premium over similar capacity iPod models or the Zune. No hi-res screen, no real use for the wifi except to shop at iTunes, no bluetooth, and still no missing iPhone apps or open dev platform. Disappointing.
