And I bought the 8GB just 8 hours before!

Aargh!

Man, that makes me want to upgrade from my 8 gig iPhone. But I still have around 4 gigs left on my iPhone, so I will wait until I am desperate for space. It's good news that an update happened though. Keeps the competition on their heels.

Yeah well I am crying.  I just bought an 8gb iPhone last week.

Isn't there some kind of 10-day return thingy with Apple?

Update   Just got back from the AppleStore. I have 14 days to upgrade by paying just the $100 price difference. And this despite having opened and activated the phone. Evidently it's a Genius Bar procedure, so I think they open both phones and move the activated sim card over.

None of the new phones in the store yet, so I'll have to go back tomorrow. I think I will, though: nice to have almost all my music on hand, without having to carry around an iPod as well as a phone.

Now all I need to do is wait for my 30 gig iPod Photo to die, so I can replace it with a 32 gig touch - actually gain 2 gigs to boot.

I never thought people would get used to and then hope for iPods to die.

I want a 16 GB nano.

Me too.

Very interesting updates in that they are nice storage updates but this is the first time that I can remember that Apple has updated something in the iPod line by adding storage without remaining at the same price point.

Can anyone else think of the last time they have increased the storage AND increased the price at the same time?

The 32GB iPod touch is very tempting but I think I will be able to resist temptation with the $499 price tag. Interesting though.

They didn't increase the price.  The previous capacity models cost exactly the same as they used to, they just added a new capacity at the top end of the spectrum.

Perhaps I didn't word that as clearly as I could have. However, in the context of my entire post what it meant was that in the past they had a top end price for a model and when they released a higher capacity model it retained the top end price.

For example:
iPod nano 4GB $249 becomes iPod nano 8GB for $249. The 4GB then became $199.

There is a consistent pattern of Apple doing this with their entire product line. What I was asking is if anyone could remember them doing what they did today:

Release a higher capacity model along with a new top end price...

Boo... I want a 32GB for no more than $399.

Guess I'm waiting a while longer.

This will make a lot of people seriously consider the touch, good move Apple.  On the other had I could use a 16GB iPhone, my 8GB says 0 bytes available on the about screen.
