I have about 6 Gigs in my entire music library. That includes all the best albums of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Megadeth, Metallica, Iron Maiden and the entire Guns N' Roses discography, pre-1993.
32 GB is only worth it if you're using flac files.
Got a tip for us?

This is what they will do for Motorola...

Googles VP of Product Management Mario Queiroz said today.
We could very well do a Nexus Two with Motorola, he said. Were working as quickly as possible.
To me it looks like they are keeping a close relationship with both HTC and Motorola.
I understand your reasoning here and I agree with you. For the most part is it just a convenience factor for me. When I add new music to Itunes I don't have to worry about putting into the folder that syncs with my iPhone and worry about having to take other songs off in order to accommodate the space i need. In no way do I need all 3200 songs on my phone at all times, but it is nice being able to go through my library and if i have a craving for something different, i know it will be there.
the lack of objectivity and middle ground on this site are nothing short of extraordinary.
You either have devout, quasi-religious Apple fans, or MS zealot trolls. The amount of armchair UI experts alone is staggering. I had no idea there were so many people in this field, and they're all on this site!
I was referring to all of the people around here that say Apple will never do a CDMA version. I think they have to when they realize that half the US market is CDMA. That is taking yourself out of the game when your competition is hitting you at every angle.
Yes, when the iPhone is synced with the iTune Library on PC it copies all songs over.
You do understand iTunes gives you more finer grained control than that. You can sync only some parts of your library to your phone, no need to sync all of it.
As to the UI, beauty, as they say, is in the eye of the beholder. In other words, it doesn't take an expert to see that something looks too cluttered, or klugey, or stuttery, or whatever. I can't speak to the usability of the Nexus One, but I (or anyone else) does have the right to comment on aesthetics.
And maybe I'm being elitist, but I do think Mac users, especially hard core ones such as are found here, are more likely to notice or appreciate UI details; that's one of the draws of Mac OSes for many, and it's those details that can elevate software from "it gets the job done" to a seamless and exceptional user experience.
Do you know that iPhone is a mobile device. It travels with you to far away places. So why would you leave some of your songs at home?
Because my 6 GB library contains 2.8 days of music. A 32 GB library preserving the same ratio would be over 2 weeks.
So unless I'm off for more than a week and I listen to my iPod 24/7 (impossible what with that thing called sleep), then maybe you'd have a point.
I don't bring my entire closet with me on vacation, I don't see why I'd need all my media either. Am I on vacation to listen to/watch media or to you know, be on vacation ?
I take it all of your music is in Lossless? Most of mine is and I have about 27 Gigs of music and only is about 9 days
I love having full access to my music wherever I am (i use simplifymedia and stream what I can't fit) - never know what I'll want to listen to (whether on vacation or not).
It matters because the implication of compatibility is that the thing with which something is claimed to be compatible actually exists.
Ah, so the consumer who buys a Nexus One, thinking he can get 32GB of storage on it because Google says it's compatible with 32GB SD cards, is an idiot?
That sounds like blaming the customer to the extreme.
I smell lawsuit.
They're basically juggling them and in the long run, neither vendor is gonna be happy.
After they do the Nexus 2, it's HTC's turn to complain.
Typically the flagship product is linked to its vendor and stays on the market for about a year. With Android it's linked to the OS revision and has been jumping from vendor to vendor every two months.
The thing is that the UI's aren't all that dissimilar, to the point where to call Android cluttered is to call iPhone cluttered. Having used both, Android 2.0 for the last 2 months and iPhone OS (on iPT) for the last year, I feel a bit more qualified to say that than the vast majority of people in this thread who have looked at screenshots on the web of Android, or played with it in the store for 5 minutes.
The Android OS is an exceptional user experience, especially when compared to Blackberry or Windows Mobile. I wouldn't say it is better than the iPhone OS, but it is very, very close.
Yeah, the consumer who buys a Nexus One thinking they can walk right out and get one today just because Google says it's capable is an idiot. Sorry. When did a consumer's inability to read and comprehend English entitle them to a lawsuit?
If it said it "32GB of storage, available today" that would be a problem, obviously.
So basically Google will be using these guys like Apple uses Foxconn? Yeah, I can't see HTC or Motorola feeling great about that for long.
So when the consumer reads (and comprehends) that the Nexus is compatible with 32GB SD cards, it's his responsibility to do research to determine whether there even is such a thing???
I would have bought one already if it was ATT 3g compatible. But boy its so tempting... the speech to text is just sexy. And the maps, works so fast!!
Oh it's enough already. You make me feel ashamed to call myself an Apple fanboy. It's always "Apple fabulous - everything else total crap" with you. That's not how the world works.
The Nexus might not be the best thing since sliced bread and for sure it's not oh so groundbreaking and innovative, but it's a decent piece of hardware AND software and does the job quite nicely for a lot of people I guess. The iPhone still has its merits, and yes it was a game-changer and it's great la la la, but that doesn't make the Nexus BAD.
Be happy that other people out there give Apple a bit of an extra push to improve their devices or at least make them a little cheaper. And no, Apple is not inherently immune to competition for all times.
I'll be happy for sure if Apple releases THEIR free nav app. They wouldn't do that without Google pushing them. Now they don't really have a choice. (I assume that they bought this mapping company for a reason)

Uh, yeah. This isn't the first time a piece of technology is capable of something not yet offered. Somehow those failed to turn up lawsuits as well.
Does the Nexus say it includes 32GB? No. It is capable of accepting 32GB MicroSD cards. What's so hard about understanding that?
There are computers currently out that accept DIMMs larger than are what's currently available. Wow, the lawsuits are a flyin'!!
