That's right, Apple has decided to give us all a 32GB iPod Touch...anyone else feeling a little disappointed with getting one earlier on?

Posted 1 minute before you :D

lol

damn, its just a little expensive though

Awesome! and 16 GB iPhone, but it's not like I'm getting the 16 GB or the 32 GB.

8 GB ftw! although I do have 15 GB of crap.

i wouldnt mind 32 gb but 500 dollars is way too expensive. i almost died with the 300 i spent for the 8gb so i dont see myself getting that when it comes out, dam poverty

i guss i have to sell my 16 gig and buy the 32 gig

I hate you apple. This is the worst iPod day ever.

1. Damaged my 8GB iPod touch
2. Reminisced about the times when I kept saying (Remember, I want 16GB)
3. Now this, 32GB.

Well, There's a sign saying, buy a new iPod touch! I can't just "buy" one! I am 15!


OH WAIT! IF I BUY THE 32GB, THE NEW IPOD TOUCH 2ND GENERATION WILL COME OUT!

That's right!

"OH WAIT! IF I BUY THE 32GB, THE NEW IPOD TOUCH 2ND GENERATION WILL COME OUT!"


Lol.. yup. :)

who cares ?
I wanted an 8 gig, and got a 16 gig, i'm really happy with it.
I really like my 16 gig, first gen ipod touch, it will forever be my mp3 player, apple wont scam me in to buying a "better one"

Well, in my country, i had to pay $500 for the 8gb version. Around $650 for 16 gb, and this one will probably be around $780...

It's not that I need 32 gb, or 16 gb for that matter, but it sure sux paying the same price here for 8 gb that americans pay for 4x more (not that it's any different with pricing of other products, but yeah...)

gay i just bought my 16gb

$500 is a bit expensive tho... bought my 16gb for $330 anyways i'll be happy good upgrade from my 6gb ipod mini lol

I am not going to pay $500 just to have more space.....

And by the way, who knows if Apple is not putting some software on the new one so you cant jailbreak it with the old methods again??? then we have to find a new method again......
That would suck if you buy a new iPod for $500 and then you cant jailbreak it....

wait wait waittttt

do you think that youll get the v1.1.3 apps though as a normal feature maybe?

that could be part of the new deal i'm seeing but its a 50-50 shot cause they're greedy bastards trying to get more money ((no offense to them of course))

I'm Incredibily Mad. I got a 8 gig and it's already is outt of space. Then i look to by a 16 gig and its 400 buck. i'm thinking that prob not enough because i've filled my 30 gig video. Then the 32 gig comes out and it's 500 bucks :eek:!

Why are you mad? Mad at yourself? It's your decision to buy or not. I am happy with my 16gb, and I'm glad I spent the extra money to get it. Just like any technology, it is usually out-dated the day you buy it. Especially with Apple products...

I really coudnt care... Im just extremly happy they didnt update the hardware with a new feature... THEN I would buy a new one. But I have lots of space on my 16gb so Im good for now. :)

what country are you from?

Can anyone really be surprised by this?!? I'm certainly not...this is what happens with technology.

lol i would love to buy a 32 gig.. maybe ill sell some shit.... i have so many movies that it would be worth it..llol

Can anyone really be surprised by this?!? I'm certainly not...this is what happens with technology.

My thoughts too.. We all knew it was just a matter of time before they released one with more space.

OMG! 'just got my iPod 16G 3days ago!...:(

Well with only 3 days on it I suggest a full restore to whatever firmware version came on it and returning it.

And does anyone have any info on the formated capcity yet?

Apple should offer an upgrade:

Trade in your old 8gig or 16gig touch and pay 100bucks to get the 32gig model.

and at least now when they finally release the iPhone in Australia it will come in a 16gb model if not 32gb.

yes but it's only 32gb . yeah i know it has a lot of space but no bluettoh added or any speakerphones on the sides. Don't you think the next one will come out like that. Also, you have 32 GB but if you can't use as an external drive then you know what screw it! plus, apple always comes up with a new one anyway... there is no way you can follow it...

I'm happy with my 16Gb iPoT. This is just the normal progression of life with electronics. Maybe at some point Apple will give us more memory at the same price:)

I'm gonna wait till a hardware upgrade then I'll buy one

i expected the 32Gb release is sooner or later. But I won't be getting it too. I am pretty happy with my 16Gb now and its capacity is still fine for me. Like what 1 bro above said, if I buy the 32Gb now, maybe they will release 2nd gen ipod touch next month?

it really dont matter to me...i got over 5000 songs, 30+ movies and all the apps, i need plus lots of roms...and i still got 3.8 gig space left...if i ever run out of space...i take it back pay difference for 32gig

im not sure but i think itll probably be about 28gb-sorry, i forgot to quote mattym''s message

At least they didn't lower the price on the 8 and 16 GB and sell the 32 for $400. I would have felt so ripped off.

Ultimately this basically forces me to choose between getting a PS3, or an iPod Touch.

u americans are luky in GB/ UK i paid 575 dollars for my 16gb
and 850 dollers for my ps3
AND URE F**KING MOANING:mad:

meh, not too worried about a 32gb touch, just another 100$ i dont want to spend. besides, 16GB is good enough for me, with the proper balance of music and videos.

yay! ive been waiting for the 32gb model ever since i heard rumors about it.

anyone know when it will be released?

peeps r only whining cause they dont have the dough to buy another one, get one for straight up movies and have the old one for apps, roms, music, ect.......:D

i wouldnt mind 32 gb but 500 dollars is way too expensive. i almost died with the 300 i spent for the 8gb so i dont see myself getting that when it comes out, dam poverty

lol... in the uk the 16gig one costed more than the equivilent of 500 dollars. lol.

(£280 = $560)

Well Now that the iPhone is at 16Gb, I am going to buy one. I am going to be selling my 16Gb Ipod touch online soon, but thought I would try to sell it you guys here first. Family comes first!

Thats.... a lot. In the US, the highest model PS3 is equivalent in price to 32GB iPod Touch:

aka. $499

Anyhoo, I'm still on the line about whether or not to get one. I think I might wait for them to ante up the battery life before I go out and get one. They should put a longer lasting battery in the touch.

Can anyone really be surprised by this?!? I'm certainly not...this is what happens with technology.

Im not. This is a fact of life. Companies design products to go out of style to get you to buy a newer fancier model with more memory lights and sounds. Apple probably won't allow those 2nd gen touches to be downgraded from 1.1.3 just to save themselves from more owners jailbreaking

Eh, whatever. I wasn't even willing to pay $399 for 16GB, so it makes no difference to me that they're now selling a 32GB one for $499. Sure, I paid more dollars per GB to buy the 8GB Touch, but 8GB is all I need.

Anyone know of a good converter to rip DVDs to ipod touch video size? :) Or to rip dvds at all.

You're joking right? Anyway I think 8Gb is more than enough... For me at least:D

You're joking right? Anyway I think 8Gb is more than enough... For me at least:D


no way, i buy seasons of shows on itunes, so i really need the extra space, my 16g has already been cut down to the very best shows and movies from my hard drive, with a lil over 400 gigs of videos i really need the extra space. :D

hey there folks,

bought my 16gb touch 14 days ago, and even now I don´t see any sense to "upgrade" ;)
I´m happy with my actual one, even this one was too expensive (for an mp3-player), but worth the money - when jailbroken ^^ I have no need for 16GB additional space, or let´s say.. it isn´t neccessary to me - 500 € ... go to hell, man!

Now all the touch haters can quit whining about how it only has 16gb

theres still that rumor going around about how in the next 2-3 years that we might have 50tb nanotechnology that uses way less power and is ssd. (obviously).
im keeping with my 8 and i know by the time i need a new one theyll have a 128 probably.
save your 500 bucks and give it a year- its well worth it. ahha

apple will be the reason I commit suicide. I spent all of my money for an iPod because the iPhone didnt have enough GB and now that I bought an iPod and the new iPhone is out, it makes me feel like crap for buying any apple product to begin with

i hate the ps3 i have one and only use it for blu ray

Ps3 gaming sucks xbox 360 is way better

apple will be the reason I commit suicide. I spent all of my money for an iPod because the iPhone didnt have enough GB and now that I bought an iPod and the new iPhone is out, it makes me feel like crap for buying any apple product to begin with

Wow. You are 'Bitter' :).. and please don't kill yourself over this.

Yea I'm pretty pissed about this too but I'm sure many of the early adapters saw this coming. 16GB is really not that bad, seeing as how I load it up with a lot of tv shows(Seinfeld, King of Queens, Simpsons) and once I finish watching them I can erase em.

I'm already saving up for the next gen ipod so whatever. But then I'm gonna be an early adapter of that and a new bigger model will come out a few months after that gets introduced and well yea, the cycle will repeat. Oh well

there's a $100 dollar diffence between the iPod classic 80 and 160gb, which is 80 more gigs for $100, yet the 8 and 16gb ipod touches also have a $100 difference? . . .

I'm a little mad but don't care. If it had extra features and stuff like that... Like camera, bluetooth, basically the iphone without the phone. I would be furious. But it's only a memory upgrade. And besides, 16gb is enough for me. I don't load it with tons of music and videos and apps just a decent amount. I guarentee they did this because of the upcoming SDK and space issues. Because people will want tons of apps. I'm sure that people are right this cycle will repeat. Thats technology for you it just keeps getting bigger and better and more expensive haha

there's a $100 dollar diffence between the iPod classic 80 and 160gb, which is 80 more gigs for $100, yet the 8 and 16gb ipod touches also have a $100 difference? . . .

Of course. I am actually surprised it's not more.... Guaranteed they could build 320gb iPods TODAY!

500 bucks seems like a lot for it.

i love how so many of you complain. what the fuck did you think when you bought your 8gb or 16gb first gen? did you honestly think they didnt improve it?? if you thought that then ur pretty stupid, and if you knew they were going to, then its your fault for buying it, love how people actually complain.

Anybody want to start a rally to get 32GB iPods if we pay apple 100$ and give them or 16GB or 200$ and an 8GB, that makes me mad, I mean I got it 3 months ago, at least last time I waited a year then the 80GB video comes out, but no, this time, 3 months later you screw me. As for you guys who bought one the other day, I am extreamly sympathetic for you, but probably still just as angry as you as well. One more thing to think about though, would you want to pay more for a 32GB or was the 399 all you were willing to spend in the first place?

I agree but it's kind of nice because you can double your memory for 100 dollars more.

8GB $300
X2
=
16 GB $400
X2
=
32GB $500

So lets rally lol!

That too much ! 500$ for 32gb ! Just get a the tool you need, open you ipod Touch. I put 160 gb from a Normal iPod. I'm sure that someone will able to do it.

I did that with my xbox 360 I had a 120GB now i put a 250GB workinf perfectly.

there's a $100 dollar diffence between the iPod classic 80 and 160gb, which is 80 more gigs for $100, yet the 8 and 16gb ipod touches also have a $100 difference? . . .

Yep, it's the fact of Apple.
Double the memory = $100 more.
8GB ($299) x2 = 16GB ($399)
16GB ($399) x2 = 32GB ($499)

It doesn't really affect me, my parents were furious paying $399 to start with.
And 16GB is more than enough for me.
I can always remove some music or movies which I don't watch anymore.

I'll become a ranter once they include hardware features such as speakers, BlueTooth (I don't really see Apple's point if they add this :P) Etc.
My Apple iPod Touch hardware is solid enough for me, until it gets updated.

there's a $100 dollar diffence between the iPod classic 80 and 160gb, which is 80 more gigs for $100, yet the 8 and 16gb ipod touches also have a $100 difference? . . .

Go compare prices per GB on 1.8" drives, and per GB flash. It isn't Apple's fault this stuff is so pricey. Actually, they are selling so many Nanos and iPhones that they are probably helping drive the prices down faster. There are various levels where one iPod or another is a better value, but flash storage is just plain expensive.

I should have just waited and bought an iPhone, then i can get the iPod, and phone with the same GB as my current iPod touch. Apple is too greedy. They look more like Microsoft now than ever.



Bitter.

This will be a hard decision. I just got my 16GB (dropping from a 30GB 5G), and I originally was hoping for 32. But, I can return it for a while, yet. I wish it was only a $50 difference, I'd return it tonight and order a 32GB. $100 seems....too high.

Or I could just adjust my playlists to fit 16GB better......

omg..wat a piss off..i saved up soo much money..and now that the 32gb game..the 16 had a price drop...and i soo wouldve saved up more for the 16 or 32/...they shouldve had it frum the strt..!!!!!

$500 for a frickin iPod is just way too ridiculous... with tax and everything that makes it like 550. then they try to convince you to buy their warranty, and whaddaya kno... another $60 bucks. so heres what we have...

over 600 dollars for an iPOD!!!!!

This is INSANE...

I love apple and their products, but this is just crazy....

I hate you apple. This is the worst iPod day ever.

1. Damaged my 8GB iPod touch
2. Reminisced about the times when I kept saying (Remember, I want 16GB)

HAIL
but i still lover apple for other than that

SHIT!!!!

that really pisses me off. I would have gotten a iphone if they would of had one in 16gb. and I would have defiantly rather got a 32gb ipod touch. Thanks apple for screwing over the dedicated ipod touch fans. They should at least offer some kind of trade in deal.

who cares ?
I wanted an 8 gig, and got a 16 gig, i'm really happy with it.
I really like my 16 gig, first gen ipod touch, it will forever be my mp3 player, apple wont scam me in to buying a "better one"

I did that with my xbox 360 I had a 120GB now i put a 250GB workinf perfectly.

I know you can do that, but with iPod touch, I hope your a solder god with the right memory to replace it, its not as easy as the old hard drive swap, besides I doubt anyone has the balls to operate on their touch like that unless they have the money to go out and buy a 32GB if they break theres in the process of trying to put in new memory, thats so risky its not even funny. Can you imagine how small the pins are and how many there are on the memory chips.

Ryuukimori is going to be happy. I think he said he was going to buy the 32 GB one.

used 16 gb ipod touches are selling for 250 on ebay. + mine is jailbroken, so can't i get even more money for it?

Can anyone really be surprised by this?!? I'm certainly not...this is what happens with technology.

I'm not surprised or dissapointed. I still have free space on my 16gb while having 2700 songs, 2 full length movies, 50 StrongBad Emails, various games for NES, iPhys, PSX, and GBA, as well as many other apps.


Also, to the guy who wanted to weld a 120gb hard drive in, good luck. You're going from a hard drive to flash memory.

Has anyone bought one yet? Are they already shipped?

500 ya right jesus

The price is pushin' it.
In Australia the Apple Store has it at $629Aus... About $560US.
A bit beyond what I could convince myself to throw away on a cool gadget.

For all the folks who say "8Gigs is enough", well, I thought that too. But it creeps up on you. It does fill up and you're starting to juggle things... deleting stuff you don't need so much.
More memory is Good. Just too expensive right now.

Personally, I will await the the Touch2, or iPhone3G. The next generation whenever it comes.

Glad I bought from Costco =]

I am not going to pay $500 just to have more space.....

And by the way, who knows if Apple is not putting some software on the new one so you cant jailbreak it with the old methods again??? then we have to find a new method again......
That would suck if you buy a new iPod for $500 and then you cant jailbreak it....

Just buy it return it, Probably get store credit, or demand cash back no prob.

oh yeah try to jailbreak it and tell us!!

I can't believe you guys want a trade in deal. Why would Apple want all these worn out iPods? They would be losing money. And also, before, all I saw in these forums was "OMG, iPod Touch needs more space." Well, now you got it, and you guys are complaining.

Grow some balls and suck it up for the fact that new technology will always be coming out.

OR

Keep complaining, wait 2 years, and the price will be low.

Okay,
so which dumbass is willing to shed half a grand dollars for just a 32GB touch?!
i mean, some people have tons of songs and movies and still have tons of free space on their 8GB.

There are a lot of things you can buy with $500
..than just buying a stupid piece of crap with more "memory" when you have one already !

Okay, there goes..
PS3, homebuilt computer, Shopping for clothes, or save that.

Gosh, why does Apple have to release stupid and unnecessary stuff?!
I think Jobs slacked off on his job today :]

i hate it when this happens...

i get the 16GB for $400 and gues what...? now its $360!
i get it with the simple apps (safari, contacts) , and guess what...!? Apple gets and 'update'
i have the 16GB and guess what...? there's a 'new' one with 32!!!!

ah, whatever i love my iPod :)

When did it go down to $360. I'm looking at the page and it still says $399.

Are you talking about the brief period of time Apple was getting rid of the 1.1.2 ones with none of the new features?

oh well. 16 gig is all I need really. Considering my last ipod was the 1st gen. ipod nano with 2 gig.:D

Is there a way to, like, when the 32 gig ipods are "old" you can buy a broke one on ebay, and take out the memory and add it to a 16gig ipod touch to increase the memory?

Awesome! and 16 GB iPhone, but it's not like I'm getting the 16 GB or the 32 GB.

8 GB ftw! although I do have 15 GB of crap.


sure is. pretty 499.99 plus tax for the new ipod/iphone is just a crazy mad scienist's idea

They could have been nice, and simply come out with a slightly new model that included a baby SD slot. I read somewhere that you'll be able to buy a 32GB mini-sd card any minute now.

So... I have an ancient, fat, 1gb mustek mp3/video player. It has a SD card slot. It cost me $99. For the $100ish that 32gb SD card will cost I'll have a 33gb mp3 player.

i mean get real here , if u want a ipod with alot of memory then u wouldnt spend 500 bucks for the a 32GB ipod. if u want alot of memory then get a ipod classic which can hold 160Gb with a lower price then a 500 dollar ipod

wow that pisses me off they should have released it before christmas fuckin assholes

you have too look at walmart website the 360 there

I bet apple's gonna get a ton of sales out of this. When people get the best out there, they truly pay and get the best.

used 16 gb ipod touches are selling for 250 on ebay. + mine is jailbroken, so can't i get even more money for it?

Try it then tell us! but not really they won't sell for more, a lot more people know about the jailbreaking process, so even if you where to sell your used iPod 16GB for about 450 you still owe ebay and paypal, so your pretty much screwed and you only get...

about 400 on average, yes what you spent (if you where lucky)

I bought mine for 392, from Apple with the Discount they where handing out tru email.

LOL U heard? some Proof do you have??

you can buy a pretty decent laptop for $550. do three of these equal a mac? i dont think so.

You know, many people whine about how high the price is, but the fact remains that these new 32GB touches will sell. There are still plenty of people out there who haven't even ventured to the touch yet, and that's what Apple is banking on, I'm sure.

For me, my Touch is not my primary iPod for music at least. I still have a 5G that's loaded with my music library. It sounds slightly better than the Touch anyway. I bought the Touch primarily for movie viewing while I'm traveling. Sure, I have some music on there, but when I really need a portable music player, I'm using the 5G. All that's to say, I'm not too disappointed that the 32GB version is out. I didn't buy my iPT to fill it up all the time; I bought it with the intention of doing lots of manual library management. It's been a great purchase and one that I don't regret.

awesome, but $500 is a lot of money. my main concern with apple is more about their 'next generation' upgrades. like when ipod touch v2 comes out, then i'll be like aww. i don't really care about a 32gb model though as my ipod touch isn't my primary music device. i have an 80gb ipod i dedicate to my music. my touch is my video & mobile internet device. definitely don't need more than 16gb to accommodate that. :D

EVERYONE LISTEN UP! stop freakin whining about this new ipod touch. have you learned anything about technology lately, especially from Apple? my god! they are always coming about with new things. the second you buy something, it is old. that's how it works. they want you to pay more! so stop complaining. if you feel that every single time you get mad when something new comes out, then don't buy anything! because you never can stay up to date with technology! In conclusion, i want you all to SHUT UP!

same thing happened to me when i bought my 20gb photo a month later they came out with the 30gb video for the same price boy was i pissed. anyways im not now since i got the 16gb and i already have back up ipods for my music.

Sorry, I only read a couple of pages, so if this has been covered, I apologize.

It's the natural progression of things. Afterall, I can remember years ago when the Ipod was out after only a year or so, and other companies came out with MP3 players that were bigger and cost less. I bought a Creative Labs 20 gig player for like $50 less than the comparable iPod. That one was stolen, and I bought the next generation CL Sleek, and again, it was $50. But for the same price as a comparable Ipod, I could get the CL with 30 gigs and it was a video player as well. Everything gets bigger. Look at how you can get an iPod Classic in 160 gig size.

Keep in mind, Apple knows that you all want bigger and better flashy gadgets. The marketed and created the iPod Touch and iPhone specifically for the this kind of crowd. And I saw that someone thought that maybe the new iPhone's and iTouch's would have the 1.1.3 apps. I don't think that they do. Makes more sense for them to offer twice the capacity for only $100 more and still have you pay extra for all of the apps.

Just my $.02

those bastards how could they release a 32gb so fast and i barely got my 16 in dec 4 watever though theyre assholes i still got room for my 16gb so idc is not like if i put so many songs and videos in my ipod so yea i wouldnt pay 500 dollars for dat ipod anyway i probably would if they would let me trade this one back and il just pay the extra 100 dat would be cool so watever apple sucks

this is why i always buy gadgets the month they come out. that way i dont feel i was ripped off when something new comes out a year later.

I love how everyone disses Apple. Yah know if it wasn't for them you wouldn't even be posting in the forum this very second. It wouldn't even exist. If you hate Apple so much return or sell your "old outdated 8GB iPod Touch" and go buy a new 80GB Zune for half the price of the 32 GB iPod touch. Seriously give it a rest. It's technology. Haven't you seen a pattern? Everything is updated. Especially with Apple.

it is seriously expensive. But, just think. in about maybe 6 more months there going to release a newer version, so then the price will drop. i hope the iphone drops, i really want the 16GB version by next january :]

OMG! 500 bucks??? they must be insane!I mean getting 8 extra gigs from 8-16 cost 50 bucks, but paying 200 extra bucks for 16-24 extra gigs? c'mon! Logically the more you buy the less you pay, i.e. 2 dollars each or buy 6 for 10 bucks. big thumbs down for apple!

I know you can do that, but with iPod touch, I hope your a solder god with the right memory to replace it, its not as easy as the old hard drive swap, besides I doubt anyone has the balls to operate on their touch like that unless they have the money to go out and buy a 32GB if they break theres in the process of trying to put in new memory, thats so risky its not even funny. Can you imagine how small the pins are and how many there are on the memory chips.

the ipod runs off of flash memory not a hard drive, thats how they are so thin. if you added a hard drive it would probably being twice as thick as the iphone.

you can buy a pretty decent laptop for $550. do three of these equal a mac? i dont think so.

lol, you got the laptop right, but not the decent part. roomate bought a laptop last september before school started for $480 and holy crap what a piece of junk. that thing can't even open a program like internet explorer in less than 30 seconds. holy crap it feels like im running a current os on a pc from the 90's.

I really coudnt care... Im just extremly happy they didnt update the hardware with a new feature... THEN I would buy a new one. But I have lots of space on my 16gb so Im good for now. :)

How do you know they didn't update the HW (other than larger memory) and they're just not saying so? There are things 'touch owners have been crying for like BT and Wi-Fi 801.11n that could suddenly be available on some models of 'touch via a later "software" update.

I agree. The 32GB is awesome, but too expensive.

I'm glad thet have a 32GB now, that means we'll most likely see a price drop for the normal September Tuesday iPod day or maybe even 64GB! XD

500 for that! apple is just thinking we are richer and richer

Stupid I think is the word you're looking for :p

who cares ?
I wanted an 8 gig, and got a 16 gig, i'm really happy with it.
I really like my 16 gig, first gen ipod touch, it will forever be my mp3 player, apple wont scam me in to buying a "better one"

I have an 8 GB too. But the only thing that takes up a lot of space are videos, especailly those "24" episodes from itunes. Cmon, 500 MB for a 40 min episode? They should make different downloads for different devices to help save space. but i guess once you've seen the episode, its pretty boring to watch it again. 8 GB RULES MY HEAD!

I bet Apple has a 1 TB Touch sitting in Steve Jobs office right now, that is thinner than a piece of paper, has Flash, a gum dispenser, and can withstand a 30,000 foot drop.

And he is just laughing as we go nuts over a 32 GB Touch. Lol!

Goddamit! [excuse my French]
So unfair! 16Gig difference on 32G and 16G. Just look how puny 8GB is...gosh. Apple is not only good with techs but they are even way better at ripping people's money, eh? They've planning this shit the whole time. It's business, what do I say.
$500 is a lot of money but 16GB and $100-$200 differences seems fine. I guess I had to sell my 8GB iPoT. I just wish someone would buy it. Or wait until Apple raises down the prices to make them balance...if that's going to happen..shit.

I really need the space for movies. Why can't Apple show love like the way it did with Adam and Eve...seriously?

$500 for a frickin iPod is just way too ridiculous... with tax and everything that makes it like 550. then they try to convince you to buy their warranty, and whaddaya kno... another $60 bucks. so heres what we have...

over 600 dollars for an iPOD!!!!!

This is INSANE...

I love apple and their products, but this is just crazy....

The 10GB version of the orginal iPod was $499, and that was 7 years ago. The iPhone started out at $599. It doesn't seem that outrageous to me, people will still buy them.

not that i need over 8 gigs, but im still kinda mad because the price will probably drop now. DAMN

this was bound to happen :) i don't see why anyone should complain when this is the new trend apple's been taking on for the last few years. i've got a 16gb touch and i'm happy with it.

Early Adopters Always Lose!!!

And does anyone have any info on the formated capcity yet?

Not a clue, but its something I was wondering..
and $500 is a little too much to dish out.. :S
just a bit of a downer cause i got the 16gb, and i thought "OH YEA, TOP OF THE LINE"
and now this.

hahahhahahahahhahaha
well, as impossible as it seems, the idea is straight
there probably is an incredibly large iPod Touch out there with everything that should come out within a year... hell probably a second gen touch..

Ultimately this basically forces me to choose between getting a PS3, or an iPod Touch.

ipod touch and xbox 360!!!

$500 is a ridiculous price considering theyre probably releasing the second gen iPod sometime at the end of this year after the release of the 3G iPhone. My guess is that the new iPod will have a larger storage capacity and it will come in more than one color. Not to mention, it will probably still cost $500. Myself personally, I will not purchase anymore iPods - my next big purchase will be the iPhone since my Verizon contract is running out soon.

You know, if you have to have the latest and greatest techy stuff, then you are going to pay for it. And yes, probably in a month, the prices of 8 gig iTouchs are going to fall. Give it three more months, the prices on 16 gig iTouchs will fall. And by then, the 64 gig iTouch will be out.:D

So, who wants to sell me their 8 gig iTouch?:eek::D

Ill sell ya my 16 for $300?

haha you won't get your 8gb sold if u sell it at the original

Anywaysss

I heard that when you get the iPod Touch 32gb, that you already get the v1.1.3 5 Apps that come with it. Is that true? And if so, how the hell are u gonna put 3rd party Apps onto something already updated besides downgrading and losing your apps, hmm?

You are correct in your observation and yes you will have to downgrade, then upgrade. You will regain your apps through what the jailbreak community has been able to come up with, so it really isn't that big of a deal.

Thanks for that =]

Now wait, here's my next question but before that, I also got note that iTunes locks onto to your ipod's serial number and if I already purchased or in this case opened the box new of the v1.1.3 apps then when I update and jailbreak into v1.1.3 then I'll have my apple original apps right? I basically don't need the jailbroken v1.1.3 iphone apps then am I correct?

release the SDK!

You will get your apps back because iTunes will recognize your serial number as one of the newer iPods automatically downloading it.

OK guys and gals correct me here if I am wrong.

I have a 16 gig Touch. I have over 1200 tunes 4 movies. 240 picts, etc. Now I look at the Apple page on the 32 gig Touch. I could put on an additional 10 movies and 400 for tunes. Probably more.

Lets see according to Apple I get 5 hours of video time. What real good is the extra space. I have to recharge. I take a 4 hour flight. I still have to recharge. I can only watch 2 movies on the flight. I know, the stuff is still on the Touch.

Unless you are going somehwere for a week. You can watch only so many movies, and listen to so much music. So at home, I recharge and re-sync. No big deal. Now if I did not have a Touch, I would pop for the 32, stupid not to.

Wait 6 months for them to update the battery life, then go for it. OR--

Buy the 16 gig. Use the extra $105 to purchase this:

you have seen the new mac laptop that you can get the 64g flash?
well I bet they put it in the new ipot n even the iphone!
I can say good timing apple I was about to buy the 8g iphone looks like it will be the 16g iphone.
but what is wrong with them why didnt they just put a 32g in the iphone?
well my theory- who in there right mind would buy a ipot when you could buy the iphone n have the same stuff plus the extras n you dont have to use the cell service!
they wouldnt sell hardly any in my book?
so they had to make the ipot attractive! over the iphone

already on the path for my 32...marched right up to local JB-HiFi where i bought my touch...started complaining about my home button, restarting all the time...(all true by the way) and im like going on about how shocked i am at the state of the store going on about how i bought faulty cds all the time and now they say, as soon as the shipment arives, i may trade my 16 for a 32 no extra charge. Im currently holding this quote/receipt very close to me...this is my ticket to fall in love again. Do not call me a scam...not one lie is in that, nor was i trying to get a 32 gig, i simply wanted a refund or a replacement 16gig...but im happy :)

i knew it was gonna happen according to samsungs release charts the 16 gb nvram chips were scheduled to release in early 08. so i knew it was coming. instead of putting 1 (8gb) in a ipod or 2 (16gb) in a ipod the release of the 16 gb one allows 2 16 gig chips taking the same space as the smaller chips. expect 128 gb by late 08 into 09.

If the capacity is bigger, and you put more stuff in, isn't the battery goes down faster without jailbroken?
I heard that to long your battery, you need to erase movies you watched that takes up a lot of space. If apple didn't come out with new battery system, how could people use
touch freely without worrying when to charge all the time. I would have bought 32Gb if the battery lasts twice that 8G one but it doesn't so NO THANKS APPLE

I'm angry. But what else can you expect from apple? 5 months after the first release of the touch, they come out with a better one to screw all the early adopters. I don't even need 32 GB, but its still irritating.

I don't know much about how electronics works. But I can't see this being the case. It is not a moving harddrive, so I can't figure out how it could possibly make a difference how big the chip is.

I'm loving the increase in memory. I wanted to get the iphone and replace my crappy windows based phone. But I didn't want to decrease my memory capacity to 8gb. Now I don't have to. I will prolly buy the 16gb iphone for me and jailbreak it so I can use it for T-mobile. As for my 16gb touch, I can give it to my gf, she has been jealous of me ever since I bought my touch. :cool:
As for having 32 gb for the touch, I went from having a 2gb 1st Gen Nano. So Im used to having only 2 gb, so having 16gb is a lot for me. So Im really happy.

just the reality of electronic now everytime u try and be up on the new shit they come out with something else it all in apples plans i bet they could of drop the 32gb back when the 8 and 16gb released but they got to create more another hype fuck them my 16gb is good for me.

That's right, Apple has decided to give us all a 32GB iPod Touch...anyone else feeling a little disappointed with getting one earlier on?

Not me. The 8 gig. is more than enough for me. I do not have that much music that I really like all the time. I only have one full length movie that I bought from Itunes that I really care about. And I tend to use my Touch as a PDA anyway, so 8 gigs. is plenty for now. I wish but, only wish they had sd card support but, maybe in another time they will. And though I like the new apps, I must admit the apps that one can use from jailbreaking your Touch are even better.

That's a good idea. Although I use my MP3 player in my car. So it is constantly holding a charge, and it simply plays all fo the music that my 20 giger holds. Last year, I went though the less than full capacity twice. So that is one decent reason for having a 32 giger, if you constantly have a power source and you don't want to lug around a ton of CD's.

im not ticked at all lol :) im a kid that dosent have much money and i dont want an itouch but i pretty much no how to jailbreak from heart so im kinda happy and hoping the 8gb will drop to like 240-260 and i will jailbreak it right when i open it :)

does anyone know the actual format capacity? is it like 29.6 GB? thanks in advance

Just a little reality check, the battery of the iPod Touch will inevitably be forced to update once the 3G iPhone comes out late 2008. It is probably then that there will be price cuts and the battery-life of all iPod Touch models will be upgraded along with it, except unlike the iPhone, the iPod Touch has no burden of draining power with the 3G network, which means that the iPod Touch will be a great buy. Sure you could go out and buy the 32GB now, but understand that a new model with longer battery life is definitely coming our way, and by the time that comes, don't go regretting about how you wished you could have stuck with your 16GB and waited a bit longer before you got your 32GB.

Too pricey :p
Nice though maybe some bugs are fixed too?

Well I'am feeling disappointed because now i want a 32GB.... but then again i think back... i dont even have much crap that i could put on my ipod.. i always had a small mp3 players.. and actually the Ipod Touch Is my firts ipod .. and I like it when i bought it but when i hack it .. I LOVED IT!! lol.. i have the 16GB Touch and i got it for 319$ and i could probably get the 32GB For 432$ around there. but i dont know i'am happy with my 16GB

Think about the price as well :p

Nope, I'm totally happy with the decision I made.
That and, I wouldn't know what to do with more than 8 gigs lol!

32 gb? wtf, who needs so much space?

i got 16gb because i thought the jailbreaking would take space, but it didnt.
still have 13gb free space at it, and thats more then enuff for me.

do you use your ipod for music?

Well. Anyone who didn't expect this doesn't know Apple. They update and update and update. They always have. Your devices go from new to old in a matter of months. It may be an annoyance for customers, but it definitely profitable for Apple.

I do not know if this would work for the Ipod touch... But if it does... It would be well worth the try.

Most iPod Touch news from Google these days is about a pending price cut. Makes perfect sense, as the whole reason for upping memory was because memory chips were getting larger and cheaper. Essentially a 32gb chip costs today what the 16gb chip cost 6 months ago. The $100 price hike is pure profit/greed, which Apple can get from the truly rabid fans and might as well. The price will come down and everyone else will then think they are getting a GREAT deal even though Apple will still be making a great profit. With dropping electronics parts prices, the iPod profit margin grows every month as the costs get lower. The longer they can keep the Touch in production the richer they get. If they can cycle us three or four time with added-value (memory upgrade is one added-value cycle) their stock will quickly climb back into the stratosphere. I'll bet they eventually do the same thing again with a 64gb memory option, where the momentary new price will be $100 higher than the 32gb model. A few months later, after the ripe fruit is all picked, the price will slide down to where the 32gb model had settled at before.

i havent bought my touch for the fact that it has 16, 32, 64 or whatever space it has , i´m a proud owner of it, because i can use it with tons of apps that we share.Lol

wow
do you use your ipod for music?

yes sir.

300 songs
50 nes games
5 ps1 games
20 gba games
9 normal games
100 pictures
5 videos

+ much more, still 13gb left ..

yes sir.

Only 300? I had 1900 on my 16GB and 25 videos (episodes of tv shows)

I just exchanged my 16GB for a 32GB today and I am sure I will have the 32GB filled before tomorrow is over. Mind you, I manually manage my music. iTunes is reporting that I have some 6000 tracks right now... so I have to pick and choose still.

well this is my 1st post and i have yet to buy my ipod touch because I was waiting for more space. I currently have a 1st gen ipod nano (2g) and I learned right there to wait for the better ipods. 32g would be perfect for me and i have the money to buy one but i can't seem to hit buy because of the lack of flash in safari. With all this talk about having a longer battery life in the newer ipods in sept. it makes me want to wait longer. Does jailbreaking the ipods decrease the battery life? cuz the extra battery life and storage would be key for me, also if they would include flash

IF you were just going to play music/videos and have a huge collection why didnt you get the classic which is cheaper and double the memory?

i do sympathize people who just bought a 16gig and now the release of a 32gig is coming
