Apple Announces 16GB iPhone and 32GB iPod Touch

16g touch is $378 + tax at Costco. I was just waiting to see what Apple was going to do today. Now I know what I will do.
Wait for 3G. You know you'll have to pay a restocking fee if you return your week old iPhone, that or mop the store floors for the same number of days that you had it. Them are the rules, my friend.
not sure if i can (doubtful) but do you think if i got the phone in jan - i think the return date is the 18th of jan....would they let me exchange it for the 16gb?
i'm guessing you are out of luck. it's only a 14 day period where you can return them (minus the 10% restocking fee).
While I agree with everyone that the touch still has a capacity that is far below what it must be, a quick look at newegg's supply of SSD tells that it will not happen anytime soon

Honestly? Not sure that amount of memory is worth the extra cash, particularily on the UK price.
Not without a better camera spec at the very least.

question: how many cell phones on the market come with 16 gb of memory built in for under $500?
answer: until today, none.

210 positives, 190 negatives, wow.
I can only think of two reasons someone would vote this negative.
1) Waaaah, it's not a new MacBook Pro with (insert wishlist here)!
or
2) Waaaah, Apple upgraded the 6+ month old product I just bought two weeks ago, they should have warned me!
I'm sure when the MBP is updated, all the folks who couldn't wait a few weeks after MacWorld will be whining and voting negative on that announcement. What a bunch of crybabies, it's ridiculous.

Shouldn't look to the price of SSD as a guide for costs or availability. Because I can show you devices that have 32GB of flash memory for a lot cheaper and that are readily available.
The flash chips (by themselves) in the iPhone and Touch are what you should be tracking, SSD includes extra hardware that doesn't make it into the Touch or iPhone.
The 10 GB version of the iPod debuted at $500.
The 20 GB version debuted at $500.
The 40 GB iPod Photo debuted at $500.
The 60 GB iPod Photo debuted at $600.
There, you're corrected.
Hmm. I've been anxious to get an iPhone, and I was thinking of waiting for the next upgrade, but now that they've given an unremarkable space-boost to the existing version, maybe that means a real upgrade won't be coming for a while.
Eh. I'll probably get one anyway. If the next revision has such compelling new features that I'd want to switch, then I suppose it would be worth the minor loss incurred by selling the current one and buying the new one.
Oh those Italians. First the Arctic Circle-Candy incident and now this.

Yeah, I see now why global warming is coming. It's all those swanky Italians driving around town on their scooters, looking for free wifi!

Whoops
If you checked this site [like I do regularly] then you would've seen in the 'Buyer's Guide' that you should wait. So I guess you didn't really look hard enough. Plus a simple google would've helped you out too.

Meh
16gb is nice, but this size will double every six months or so.
So for now I'm perfectly happy with my 8gb. I'm in no rush to upgrade.
I'll happily wait a couple of years, by then maybe they (apple and the third party devs) will have a few of my wish-list features implemented & released.
3G, multi megapixel camera, shutter without a 2 second delay, photo rotation-editing/cropping on phone, video & voice recording, safari "open as new page" link features, gps, voice dialing, (fix that damn incoming call interference "Galloping horse" sound), A2dp bluetooth, on phone content management (besides just videos), edge/3g itunes, ipod app with easier sorting (genre by artist or year etc), ipod app with selectable views (album view while viewing by song), bluetooth/wifi syncing, INDUCTION charging, copy/paste, a USEFUL coverflow, ogg vorbis support, SDK (iphone delicious library please?), wifi downloadable apps, longer battery-life, non-recessed headphone-jack, win-syncable notes, flash & java support, calendar syncable with any ical address (google calendar), universal landscape keyboard, "Contacts" not hidden in phone menu (since they're used for email too), maybe even universal cover-flow option (contacts as their pictures?), ability to choose portrait or left/right landscape for videos instead of left-landscape-only, downloadable podcasts ON device, crash/error reporting/log submittal ON device, push email, better speakers, more functionality in YouTube app (commenting system, etc).
Please? ^_^

I certainly didn't read the buyers guide on this site. I'm only to blame for that... still though. I did google, and there were no indications leading me to believe apple would release the newer model today.
well...
Dude, you forgot . . . I'd also like Apple to pay my taxes, get me a date with a supermodel . . . make that three, and also run all of their product decisions by me first in order to get my special blessing.

Yea, I thought the new widgets/apps will be really small, though. I have 300 Megs still available for stuff on my iPhone...
It's just a natural progression like computers - more space.
Why is everyone complaining? On the Windows side, HP has a Windows Mobile PDA with 256 Megs for $299, then you have to run out and buy little cards for it...
Updates
Nice upgrade, for the iPhone... But I think that to seriously start using it as a replacement for the iPod it should get even more memory....
Don't worry Uncle Steve won't make us wait much longer...
MBP updates are coming soon to make everyone happy
Sit tight!
And hopefully it will be something more interesting than what we're all expecting...

Ouch, that stings. I thought they might drop the 8GB to something like £229 with the 16GB coming in at £289 but £329 is over the price barrier for me.
