The typical user doesn't need more than 8GB. I have a 20GB MP3 player that I'm currently using 5GB of.
This thing just looks like a pocketable communications device done right. Finally.
I....agree. I feel dirty admitting it but on this one I have to hand it to Apple: this is what a 'smartphone' should be. Amazingly well-designed, brilliant work. I would totally buy one if it was on my cell carrier (as that's up to $600 WITH A TWO YEAR CONTRACT).
I currently have 30GB of MP3s, maybe a bit more, as I've ripped some new CDs since I last checked drive usage. I don't want to screw around with deciding which music I do and don't want to listen to today, and I also don't want to have to boot up the computer every time I want to listen to something different.
My wife has at least twice as many CDs as I do, and is in the process of ripping them to the 80GB iPod I got her for Christmas--I expect her collection to run close to the limit of the device.
I don't much care what the "typical" user needs. And it isn't even a question of what I *need*. I'm talking about my *wants*. :) Yeah, there aren't enough of me to drive product decisions at Apple yet, and a wider range of storage options on the iPhone would drive down the prices of the two units they just announced. But that's why I didn't say "Apple shoulda made an 80GB iPhone", just "I wish Apple had made an 80GB iPhone."
I reckon there's a pretty good chance an 80GB iPhone will appear sometime in the next decade. When it does, I might have to buy it.

I hope more phone companies follow their lead.
And now I need to go sob in the shower.

Let alone the things you were planning to do to it once you got it in there.
