Oh, One More Thing: It’s Not 3G
Apple doubled the capacity of the iPod Touch and the iPhone this morning. The iPod Touch is now available in three versions: an 8GB model for $299, a 16GB model for $399 and a 32GB model for $499. The iPhone now once again comes in two capacities: 8GB for $399 and 16GB for $100 more.
“For some users, there’s never enough memory,” Greg Joswiak, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPod and iPhone Product Marketing, enthused in one of Apple’s typically self-aggrandizing press releases. “Now people can enjoy even more of their music, photos and videos on the most revolutionary mobile phone and best Wi-Fi mobile device in the world.”
Aside from the increase in capacity, which will come in handy for iTunes movie rentals, the new devices appear unchanged from their predecessors–a disappointment for those hoping for a faster 3G iPhone. Also nowhere to be found, three new MacBook Pro models that MacRumors claims to have spied in Best Buy’s inventory-tracking system.

Apple totally bums me out. I buy their cool stuff and then six months later (almost to the day) they come out with the “real” one - like an iPod with actual storage. I have been loving my Touch as I move my Tivo shows to it so I can be uber mobile. Is it too much to ask for them to figure this stuff out before it ships!?!
