glad they upped the memory, but as a current iphone owner, i'll be waiting for iphone 2. wish i had the 16g, especially with apps on the horizon.

noservice2001 · Feb 5, 2008, 08:45 AM

bmorris · Feb 5, 2008, 08:45 AM

Just as I thought. This was just the minor upgrade that was supposed to be announced at macworld to hold us over until iphone 2.0 is introduced. That phone is not coming out until later in the year. A lot of stuff in fact didn't get debuted at macworld like they were supposed to.
So you have a choice now. Buy the upgraded capacity version of the iphone 1.0 or touch now or wait til later in year for version 2 of the iphone.

Kedrik · Feb 5, 2008, 08:46 AM

Did anyone see this coming today? Were there any hints or leaks? Rumors?

Surely · Feb 5, 2008, 08:46 AM

Nice! Just what I was waiting for. Perfect timing too- I was planning on buying an iPhone on Feb 15th regardless of an update or not. The one thing I was hoping for was a larger capacity iPhone. Right on!

hahahaha settle down, that would cost heeeeps

Dctape · Feb 5, 2008, 08:46 AM

I got a 16G Touch for Christmas a couple of months ago. I'm happy with it. I probably would not have gotten a 32 Gig one even if they had been out simply because of the price being a little higher than I like to spend on something like that.

aswitcher · Feb 5, 2008, 08:47 AM

Mmmm. Nice to see but hardly earth shattering or unexpected.

TRIPLE YAWN!
