Apple Updates iPhone and iPod Touch

Posted by kdawson on from the how-to-get-buzz dept.

u-bend writes "With little publicity Apple has released new, higher-capacity models of the iPhone and iPod Touch. The new iPhone boasts 16 GB of storage and is priced at $499 (the 8 GB model remains at $399), and the new iPod Touch has 32 GB, also priced at $499. Although the price is still pretty hefty, it indicates that the capacity/price ratio on these wireless flash-based players is starting to move in the right direction."

    Every one of my friends who has would never go back to being without it.

    I know what you mean... thats why I don't have an iPhone and instead run a WM based phone on a network that actually... works.

    Let's face it... the iPhone has a cute browser but in the end it's crippled by being on an anemic network with slow access speeds and system software that (while pretty) was built by people who were stumped by the concept of copy and paste.
