16GB iPhones/32 GB iPod Touch Official!

[Aaron]

Both are 500$.

Out of the rumor mill comes the 16GB iPhone, now official. Ever since the 16GB iPod touch was announced in September, we all knew it was just a matter of time until Apple could bung the same NAND capacity into their chubbier iPhone. The surprise is a new 32GB iPod touch for the same $499. No other changes and certainly not 3G. Both are available immediately.

Update: We just spoke with Apple, who told us that by available immediately, that means both US and international customers. They should start making their way to stores over the next couple of days, too, so call ahead to check stock if you're buying offline. Also, Cupertino had no comment on whether there were any other under-the-hood hardware changes in these new models.

Take that $499 and get an 80 gig PS3. Better value. If they take the 8gig itouch and bring it down to $199-$250 that would be sweet. I can see that happening by the end of this year.

Given the choice between my $600 iPhone or my $600 PS3 I would choose the phone hands down. I use it daily for phone and iPod use. I freakin' love the phone.

It is also nice to be able to search the web wherever I want as many sites are blocked at work.

I'd consider it if I didn't have to sign another two year contract to get the new 16gb phone. I'll wait for a more worthwhile upgrade. Like 3g and real GPS.

I love my iphone too. It comes in handy so many times in so many random situations. I mean, it's a pocket sized mac/phone!

I'm really tempted to pickup the ipod. I have about $125 in Best Buy X-Mas cash to burn. I'd get the phone, but I still have 2 years on my Verizon contract. by then, even better phones should be out. 32GB touch would be very nice though.

The Touch is pretty cool, but I think that the 160 GB iPod Classic is a better value.

My phone has gps with a 5MP camera and it is a 3g phone with 8GB internal memory. N95 look it up I've had it for about 2 months now, I have a couple of friends that have the iphone and just about every one of them like my cell better.

That Nokia is a nice phone for sure. More pricey than the iPhone but offers more features.

The iPhone is all about appearance and interface IMO.

Which it usually loses with me, when I start looking at similarly priced Ericksons .

Agreed. As much as I could REALLY use that extra space because I've only got the 8GB with only 320MB of available room.... I'm not signing up for another 2yr contract and I'd rather wait for 3G and GPS. I actually went out and bought a real GPS yesterday, just wish it was on my iPhone.

I don't have a mac but I did consider using it on a macbook. Never pulled the trigger though.
