Apple Updates iPhone and iPod Touch

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."

At the moment, the iPod touch does not function as a hard drive, unlike the other iPods. There is a workaround, you can hack it or use some third party programs to write to the media folder. Informative? *sigh*

A hard drive is a piece of hardware. You cannot use software alone to manufacture hardware. Of course you knew that, but a hard drive is a box with magnets and platters that stores data. If the iPod Touch doesn't use its hard drive to store data, those that bought one are staying quiet about it.

You seem to be confusing "hard drive" with "general purpose file storage".

If I Knew the Brand Name I'd tell you

Gosh, I just upgraded my old MP3 player for new 2 gig model. It doesn't have a video screen, it doesn't make phone calls. It doesn't walk the dog. It doesn't shuffle. Hell, It doesn't even have a brand name on it, or on the box, or on the "instructions."

Then again it's literally one inch square, looks cool in pink aluminum, and allows me to a) copy songs (or anything) to it from any computer and b) play music.

For $30 it's EXACTLY what I need.

Guess I'm not in Apple's target market?
