That's actually a great observation, making the quiet storage bumps seem even more well-timed/executed (aka: slide something in before the day is engulfed in more important news).
Go vote people! <cough>Obama</cough>

Awwww
Awwww little baby go waaaaa, isn't that cute.
Honestly how old old are some people here? An extra 16 GB for 100 bucks sounds pretty fair to me. Apple's prices are a little high but still pretty fair. Where else can you get 32GB flash in such a great piece of electronics?
Here's a smattering of 32GB devices, and you'll see that this much memory is still quite expensive, even in usb drive format.

You could always go for the Sansa. It's cheaper, and I'm sure it would make a nice pacifier...

There are many stores/restaurants that have unprotected wifi networks for their customers. Also I know of MANY residential areas that have wifi signal from the home owners network that I could leach off of in a pinch.
But there are also some cities that has made the whole city a wifi hot spot.

So where the hell were all the rumors? This was kept under wraps pretty well... oh well 8GB does me fine, i've only filled about 4GB. I wouldn't mind a 16GB Nano though! Now that would be ideal
What a bunch of whiners some of you people are.
This update is fine. Although my current iPhone is plenty of capacity for me, the upgrade on both the iPhone and the iTouch is nice.
Be patient folks, Apple will bring out more goodies.

It's entirely logical. The touch has two memory chips to the iphones one. The touch has more room for the extra chip as it doesn't have the phone elements inside.
If they swopped the 128 Gbit chip on the iPhone for a 256 one (and that's all today was - a simple chip swop) - then they can do the same, twice, on the Touch.

I hope you're wrong, although I don't think your prediction is implausible. I not only hope the Classic stays, I'm hoping the Touch will get a hard drive. The main reason I don't have a Touch is that going from the 60GB of my 5G iPod to 16GB would feel like a big downgrade (the other reasons being: I have an iPhone and I'm short of cash). I for one love having ****loads of podcasts, films, photos, audio books and tv shows in my iPod--16 or 32GB just won't cut it.
I am surpised you haven't seen any Classics in the wild--I see them everywhere, although they seem to be less common than nanos and shuffles.
I'm hoping that by Christmas we'll have a 32GB 3G iPhone and that there'll be an official Apple iChat client that lets you use the data connection (either wifi or 3G) to connect to AIM instead of having to use text messages. Those are my requirements for getting an iPhone and I can't wait for it to happen.
Well, we all thought the 3G version was coming in June. That would have been the perfect time to increase the capacity to 16G.
Looks like Apple is trying to keep the sales momentum going. If they spin a new rev now, I think it is doubtful that we'll see a new iPhone in June.
Looks like the 3G will be coming much later than we think. If it does come in June, that wil piss off a lot of people that run out and buy a 16Gigger now.
I don't think Apple will make the same mistake twice!

Looks like someone may have done a cut and paste from a recent blurb by AT&T covering messaging in general.

Ordered!
16 GB in the iPhone rocks... I can still sell my 8 GB iPhone to make up part of the cost. I'll get the 3G iPhone when it comes out, but in the meantime it'll be nice to be able to carry around more music or, more likely, more videos.

I just bought my iPhone on January 19. Anyone know the policy Apple has for returning and upgrading?
I have found however that I am only using about half of my 8 gigs. I keep 2 movies on it at a time for plane flights. A couple hundred songs. Half a dozen podcasts and then my calendar and contacts.
16 gigs is what I was waiting for and then finally said the heck with it. I will be happy either way. The iPhone is the best gadget I have ever owned.

They say 'immediately' and 'worldwide' but its only in the US so far, lots of people are saying O2 will start selling 16GB iPhone for £329/349 tomorrow.
The people on the 'Chat now' thing on the UK Apple Store are completely oblivious to the updates, one woman on there vehemently denied the existence of a 32GB touch!

I wish I could vote in your election! It seems to as vital to the rest of the world as it does to the US. From over the pond, Obama is an inspirational speaker and could be a great leader and Hilary has quality ideas on healthcare and a track record of standing up to industry, especially BigPharma.
Super Tuesday sounds super confusing to me though- do they really need to win equal votes? I don't get it!
Sorry for the tangent! But voting is like, er, well important, yeah?
Once that 32GB iPod touch comes down in price I may just have to buy one!
As for all the complainers out there, stop complaining, you sound like a bunch of whining children. If the greatest injustice in your life is that Apple isn't catering to your every whim consider yourself among the fortunate. Many people could only dream of having $300, $400, $1200 or whatever amount to spend on such toys. Or worse yet, just have their mommy or daddy buy it for them so they don't even have to spend any of their own money. Keep things in perspective people.
... And there's my rant for the day...

See the bottom left. It's not the most prominent thing on the home page but it is there. They are still pushing the MBA.

What time can we expect it tomorrow? I want to put it in iCal....
Personally, these updates are pretty snazzy. Double the capacity for $100? Sounds good to me.
True, I'm waiting for the MBP update, but I'm not gonna kill anyone over waiting another week or two. As far as I'm concerned, longer time just means better update.
I know I've always wanted an iPhone. This just further justifies it!
