With the iPhone 4 now being 8gb and the iPhone 4s intro model being only 16gb. Do you think thats gonna put people off?

I mean 8gb was fine for the original iPhone, and 16gb wasn't bad for my 4.

But nowadays it is really skimpy. I just had a warning that popped up on my iphone today saying it was too full, and I don't have music or movies on my phone at all.

Paying another $100 for a 32gb just doesn't seem right to me. Feels like i'm being slightly cheated or took advantage of.

Do think Apple skimped on memory this time around?

no. look at other phones in the industry. this is standard. sometimes $199 phones are 8gb. The price of memory hasn't dropped enough yet unfortunately

Look at other phones in the industry... they allow the user to insert a SD card to double, triple, or even quadruple the factory size.

For under $100, you can buy a 64GB memory card that "the other phones in the industry" will allow.
