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."

    I was waiting for 16GB so I can have a few movies, photos, and my entire song library on the thing at the same time. Now all it needs is voice dialing and I'm in!

    You clearly missed the point.

    I assume we agree that the Touch ships with a hard drive. You are saying that in normal conditions (i.e. an unmodified Touch) that hard drive is not behaving "like a hard drive".

    If an object is an object, that object can only behave like said object.

    I'm stumped.
