[quote5329cca61e]CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) -- Apple Inc. updated its iPhone and iPod Touch lineup Tuesday, doubling the memory and setting a new premium price for its high-end models.
The latest iPhone features 16 gigabytes of memory and retails for $499. The previously released 8 GB version of the hybrid cell phone, multimedia player and wireless Internet device costs $399.
The new iPod Touch comes with 32 GB of memory and retails for $499. The older 16 GB and 8 GB versions of the combination multimedia player wireless Internet gadget cost $399 and $299, respectively.
The new devices are available through Apple's online and retail stores. The updated iPhone is also available through AT&T Inc.'s online and retail stores.
Apple said that all iPhone and iPod Touch models come with updated software that the company announced in January. It includes a new maps application and the ability to watch movies from the iTunes movie rental service.
Apple shares fell 34 cents to $130.31 in pre-market trading.[/quote5329cca61e]

Amen to that. I'd like one, but I'd rather have $500.

Just wait another 6 months and it will be half the price...
Technology is increasing at such a fast pace that paying premium price is no longer necessary. Thankfully.

yea but with that mindset, you'll never end up buying anything, and the thing you once thought was great, is now overshadowed by something crazier and better
