I had 7 GB of storage, and after updating, I now only have 6.83 GB. Does the new system take up all that extra space? I don't want the extra .17 GB wasted, so I hope it's being put to good use.

Sorry, but I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, or just unsure.

I'm confused. What's wrong with wanting to know where some space went to? 170 MB is a fair sized number when it comes to videos or songs, regardless of the total amount of space.

As for the question, since they added a bunch of new stuff, I'm going to assume your extra space went to that. I don't know though, so I certainly could be wrong.

Well, I'm pretty squeezed on space, so 170 MB would help.

I would have to say yes, why is .17 GB a big deal. It also halves your battery life.

I haven't noticed a significant decrease in battery life with iOS4 so long as I turn the WiFi off when I'm in areas that don't use it or I won't be using it for a while. Otherwise, with WiFi on all the time, it does make a difference.

Yep, the system data partition is now 680 MB instead of 500 MB according to Cydia. Now, just need to wait for the Modmyi source to work so I can download Weathericon...

Obviously because of the new 100 features its gonna take more space. Dont forget apple added 1,500+ api's for developers.

Me too dude. I don't know why it takes up that much space, that blows. 170 megs gone and I can't even have my own personal wallpaper :(
