Also, how can apple sell a 32 GB touch for $499.00 and charge $999.00 for a 64 GB SSD on the MBAir?? Its the same technology.
Go to Newegg.com and check on prices for 64GB SSDs.
Go ahead. I'll wait here.

i couldn't be more happy with the vista upgrade, while the only two friends i know that have leopard have complained nonstop about it.
i love my iphone (i'll be handing my 8gb down to my g/f and picking up the 16gb version), but i strongly disagree with your post. i couldn't be more happy with the vista upgrade, while the only two friends i know that have leopard have complained nonstop about it.
I think that Apple's tendency to update products when they can, rather than when they should, is one of their strengths. They typically (not always) don't hold back upgrades in order to milk the market cycle of the current product, and they (typically, not always) don't rush buggy crap to market because they're falling behind.
This is why, for example, that the small step to Leopard is smooth as silk while the giant leap to Vista is a brand name killer.

Thanks for waiting ... holy moly its like $1500.00 .....
I guess my real question is how can Apple afford to sell them at $999.00
They have a 128 GB SSD for about 3 grand ... damn. I'm in the wrong business.
exactly!
this is to avoid having to refund 8gb purchases with the price difference...
they learned this one from the 100USD price drop i reckon
So do you think the 3G release in the rumored June is a no-go?
So for all you wondering how this all works, I got the new 16GB phone, switched SIM cards, so my OLD SIM card is in the NEW iPhone, and plugged it into iTunes to activate it. All is good, and the new SIM card is in the old phone. Only thing -- it DID renew my contract -- it was very clear about starting a new 2 year contract. For me, that's fine, I don't care, but thought you'd all like to know.
Hmm, then again, it also said all my VM would be deleted, and they show up on my new iPhone...
I had a great experience upgrading my iPhone. I called around Dallas, where I live, and found one of the stores (Knox Street) that had them in stock this morning. I went down there and met with a guy at the genius bar to transfer my activation or something along those lines. Given that this was the first day of the 16gb iPhones being out, he had some troubles figuring out how to do the transfer quickly. He went to the back and did not return for 30-45 mins. I had a book with me, so it was no problem. When he came back, he apologized and said that in order to make it up to me, they would make it an even trade. Instead of paying the $100 difference and 10% packing fee, I got 8 gb more memory for waiting for a half an hour. I wish more people valued my time so highly.
I have dealt with Apple's customer support several times about several different products over the past two or three years, and I have always found to be well above average. This experience is just another example of that.
