If you plug an Iphone 4 into a win XP machine it reads as a digital camera. If you plug it into a win7 machine it reads the hard drive space. On a 16 GB Iphone 4 it reads as 27 gbs meaning the iphone4 hard drive on a 16gb is actually a 32gb drive partitioned. Anyone try to repartition yet?
 
we'll see, We have a former apple employee trying to determine if it's a hardware or software lock on the drive.

This is either a flaw in Win7 or a flaw in how the iPhone reports its capacity. We would know from tear downs that the 16GB version has the exact same hardware as the 32GB.
