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."

    Hi, My name is Matt and I'm a recovering hater.

    Being a recovering hater is difficult. You have to endure stupid articles such as these that point out the obvious. Oooooh! Storage based tech products increase in capacity AND become cheaper as time goes by!? You don't say. Ignorant brainiac reporters! Stupid slow newsday!!!

    Oh wait... my bad. Let me just breath a second... Sorry for the venom. One step forward, two steps back.

  3. Software Innovation by Greenisus · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    This seems to be an unusual year for Apple, in that most of their major innovations are in software, rather than with new gadgets and hardware. Instead of iPhones, new iMacs, etc...the real innovation I'm seeing is with iPhone software and the upcoming SDK, and the new Apple TV software. Of course, the MacBook Air is cool, but I want something powerful and it makes the MacBook Pro look much less attractive (and even dated) to me....
