I wouldn't expect newer generations of the iPhone or iPod Touch to get very high capacity-wise. They use RAM essentially, not harddrives, so the cost of a 40+gb version would be extremely expensive.

Keep in mind, also, that you can use Telekinesis with both the iPhone and iPod Touch, allowing you to stream audio and video over wifi from your mac at home. This means that instead of simply 8gb or 16gb of space, as long as you are within any sort of wifi (or EDGE for the iPhone) coverage, you have your entire mp3 collection at your fingertips. I can't imagine why they haven't made this an official feature yet.

As for the 33% price drop in two months, yeah, that's pretty fucking lame. If I had known the mark-up was that high I likely would have just waited. Oh well. Hopefully it will invigorate the custom developer community with a lot of new blood and get a bunch of new unofficial and official software out for it.
