That's a good point. I think Apple users are a bit spoiled and somehow assume that iPod storage capacity is the norm.What other phone has 16gb of memory, much less 32gb?
Take the SonyEricsson X1 ("Xperia"), one of the supposed iPhone killers coming out this year. The specs are quite impressive; 800x480 touchscreen (iPhone=480x320), 3.2 Mpixel camera with flash and 30 fps video recording, quadband GSM and tripleband HSDPA, full QWERTY slide-out keyboard, front-facing videocall cam, 830 hours standby time... and...
(drumroll)
...400 MB storage. The iPhone 16 GB has 40 times more.
So it's on par with or outspecs the iPhone in every way, and SonyEricsson considers 400 MB the appropriate storage capacity to match those specs.
One blogger referred to this as "whopping": "...Simply put, you need a very huge storage capacity for your mobile phone, and fortunately Xperia X1 has it. It has a whopping 400MB internal memory, more than enough to store video games, songs, and even short movies."
