Apple unleashes 32GB iPod touch and 16GB iPhone

Apple has just announced the launch of a 32GB version of the iPod touch and a 16GB model of the iPhone. The new iPhone will wear a price tag of £329, whereas the 32GB touch will also cost a whopping £329.

Apple's been beaten to the punch when it comes to 32GB flash MP3 players -- SanDisk announced the 32GB model of the Sansa View back in January, and Creative has been rocking a 32GB Zen for several weeks, which also supports SD cards for even more memory.

Everything about the new iPhone and iPod touch remains the same as existing models -- only the capacity has been changed. New touches will also come with the new firmware installed as standard, meaning there's no need to go spending cash on optional upgrades from the iTunes Store. Huzzah!

Both new models are supposed to be available immediately, but at time of publication the Apple Store hadn't been updated to offer the new models. Apple must be losing its touch. -Nate Lanxon

Way to expensive. I could just about stomach £269 for the 8gb, over 300 for an 18 month contract phone, I would be surprised if they manage to make up at 10,000 shortage during this quarter. Not a chance.

Yeah, a software-hacked *32GB* iPod touch could just about be my ideal multimedia storage solution, although it's priced itself out of the market [of people who think independently].

Apple - I keep saying I'll never buy your stuff, but you keep bringing out things that almost tempt me, then you shoot yourself in the foot every time. Keep up the good work.
