I've been searching around and haven't been able to find any information about this...

Anyways, i've been wondering how much space the Itouch/Phone games are gonna take up. I recently bought a 16gb Itouch, but i'm a bit of a gamer so wanted to know if it was worth it to exchange it for a 32gb one.

Thanks in advance for the help.
 
You should be fine. According to this article, Pangea's Enigmo and Cro-Mag Rally are 23MB and 130MB. I bet most games will be about the size of an album, 50-60 MB.
 
Wait and see just like everyone else. There is no obtainable answer right now.
Very friendly answer, akonradi.

Anyways, I'm sure the apps won't take that much space. The maximum size Apple is allowing developers' apps to be is 2 GB (BTW the maximum price Apple is letting developers make their apps is $999.99. Apple has some high expectations! :p), and I doubt many apps will be near the 1 GB mark. I'd expect sizes between 10MB - 100MB. I don't think you should be worried about the sizes of these apps.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys! Love these forums, quick and polite (for the most part)
 
Don't worry about it. You won't run out of space. The apps will surely be pretty small/decent in size.

BTW it's iPod touch and not iTouch :p
 
I'm hoping we can take apps we buy off and put them back on at will. I'd buy more than my 8gb had capacity for if I could swap them out without losing them.
 
Very friendly answer, akonradi.
Ah, of course. I should have tried to bloat the only real answer into the shape of a happy face.

Fact is, they'll vary in size. Nobody outside of the developing companies (and possibly in a few cases, Apple) has the final copies, so there's no way that we can tell. If you'd like me to be any more to the point than that, pardon.

You can. They'll sync through iTunes and you can select the ones that you want on your device. It's another tab in the iPod syncing window, like music, videos, podcasts, etc.
 
Without anyone having real information, I would look to comparable devices... palms, blackberrys, how abou 3rd party games right now? What else do you want to do with it? Are you just going for the games? How about music? Videos? (Videos will be your big space eater if your touch looks anything like mine).

PS.. I like iTouch.
