8GB Not Enough, What About 16GB?

Posted February 13, 2008 10:11 PM by Don Palmigiano

imageI just ran out of space on my 8GB iPhone today. I was adding the soundtrack to “Across the Universe” when iTunes notified me that I had to get rid of some of my photos if I wanted to have a complete library on my phone. I knew it would happen one day. Sigh. What I didn’t expect was that it would occur at the exact moment 16GB iPhones started to show up. Perfect timing Apple. I congratulate your precise sales plan. You know me too well. I am assuming they also know their other customers. Apple knows that some people want more space on their Touch-Screen iPods; and that some previous owners may realize that 8 or 16GB is simply not enough and may decide to upgrade. I am jokingly considering upgrading my phone to a 16GB, which is still $100 cheaper than the initial price of the 8GB iPhone. How ironic.

I have heard that there may be yet another price drop, so it would be wise to hold off on the upgrade. I am fine with 8GB, but it looks like I will be living with a fraction of my library. What will you be doing?

Will you be getting a new iPod or iPhone because of space issues? Will you keep your existing device? Or have you waited for a boost in memory to finally commit?

  1. No need to upgrade, just sign up for http://webot.com/  and get remote access to all your photos and mp3s found on your home computer. Wait for the 3g iPhone upgrade!
