    Did anyone else notice that aside from the cool new iPods announced today they also lowered the price of the 8GB iPhone by $200 now making it $399, the 4GB model seems to have disappeared altogether.

    Dang... it was a nice month and a half or so while it lasted. I'm sorry that i paid $200 more a couple of weeks ago.

    so now that I feel the 4GB model is now affordable, I think I may get it for my wife. I am wondering is there anyone here who bought the 4GB model and regretted not getting the 8GB for the increased storage?
    On her current iPod (4GB pink mini) she usually seems to usually carry a tad less then 700 songs where she usually has about 1 GB free.

    A full length movie will be about 2 - 3 GB when compressed to 480 x 320 mp4

    we really don't have interest in the video capabilities. I have the old 30 GB video iPod and aside from a few movies that I spent my time converting, it's nothing to be excited at, I would much rather watch my movies on the TV. I do like to look at the music video's though.

    It's still $300 more than I'd care to spend on a phone, and there's no way I would get $50.00 a month of service from it. I'll still pass.

    No. It will be 500 Mb using h.264.

    But dang. Apple better do some kind of reparation for hurting the first adopters.

    They are. $100.00 credit at the Apple store.

    Under Apple's refund policy, customers who bought an iPhone within 14 days of the price cut can get a refund of the price difference if they have the original receipt. Those who haven't opened the phones can return them for a full refund.

    Did you miss where I said "mp4" in my post ? Or where I said "full length movies" ?

    I prize multi-platfrom operation over best codec of the day, so I'll leave the DVD in it's original codec, and downsize from 720 X 480 to 480 X 320. 3/7ths of a 5 GB movie is 2 GB; of a 6 GB movie is about 2.5 GB. Clear ?
