16 GB good enough for what ipod Touch can do or is 32 GB worth it?
49470
I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there. So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

According to Wikipedia, 4 GB is supported by Apple but you can put in 8 GB. I upgraded to 4 GB.

Here's another viewpoint for your consideration. You might want a nice big classic with tons of storage for *all* your music and other files (I have a 60 GB with tons o' songs, podcasts, and photos). I am currently considering a cute little shuffle or nano to hold a small subset of my total collection, for taking out on walks or whatnot when I want some of my music accessible and don't want to lug around my heavy 60 GB 'pod. So there's a possible reason why someone might want 2 iPods. :-)

I absolutely agree with the OP.This is the most advanced MP3 player on the planet, and to ship it with 16GB Flash instead of an 80 or 160GB microdrive, like the classic has, was stupid IMHO.It would have also been considerably cheaper with a 160GB drive instead of 16GB of Flash.I have a 2nd Gen iPod and a 1st gen 4GB Nano, both still in perfect condition. The Touch was to be my next purchase, but now I'm just not so sure any more.To be totally honest, the 160GB iPod Classic is a FAR better buy. It's cheaper, has 10 times the storage, has the same new interface and OS, and lasts 40 hours per charge.Apple has made my decision WAY too hard.

iPod Touch 8GB 4th Generation is my favorite. But since you had a nano, maybe you might not like it since it has a touch screen,etc. I like it because watching videos on the retina display is AWESOME!!!!!! Plus music too. I don't really use it for much else besides Playing Music/Watching Videos/Pandora. I don't use apps, use the internet sparingly, etc. You should probably wait until September because a new nano will be coming out then.

I use a 16 gb with no problems. A friend uses a 32 with no problems. Hope this helps.

I have about 23gb in music, and closing in on 100gb in movies. I have the 80gb Video iPod. If you're like me, you're gonna wanna wait for at least the 128gb iPod

I didn't buy the 64GB but the 16GB flash drive. I tried it on my original iPad which has the wide connector, the same as the iPod Touch. After installing the app for iflashdrive from the app store, the app could read the contents of the sladh drive with no issue. I expect the 64 GB drive should work. I originally bought the flashdrive to work with my iPhone which has the new smaller connector. But I have ipods, iPads, iPhone and PC so it works with all.

In case you didn't know, you can purchase more gb's through iCloud, for example 20gb for approx $1.06 per month, tax included. This is for your 16 gb iPad. So you still have options to add more gb's. I hope this helps...

Unless your gift is going to someone who has (or wants to have) an HUGE collection of music files, or is likely to buy or rent a lot of Apple iTunes movies, 16GB should be more than adequate for the "average" person's onboard library storage needs. On the other hand there is no way to upgrade to more flash memory on any model iPod touch, so an extra 100 bucks if you can afford it for an additional 16GB of storage space may come in handy some day. You can always externally store a larger number of tranportable file from a MAC or PC if your storage capacity exceeds 8 or 16GBs in the older model touches.

I have the 32GB and OS takes up 6GB. Hope another person can answer you on the 16GB tablet.

The last 7Gb on your Classic! I think you are already effectively maxed out, as our iPods need a bit of breathing room and the 7gb would be that room.

I admit, 4GB is a bit limiting, but it does take MicroSD cards up to 32 gb. If you need the storage, you could try the X7 Elite, which has 32GB of storage in addition to the MicroSD card. But, hey, it's not an Apple or a Samsung. It's a decent value for the price, but for a lot of people it's not going to be the smartphone that does everything.

It depends on how you progress in the use of your phone. 16gb is enough for a new time user.. If you want to store movies or lots of pictures that take up storage, more memory is needed. Buy the 16 and then wait and review your use in a month. Buying online memory especially from Amazon is far cheaper than buying it with the phone on initial purchase. I bought a samsung tablet with 16 gb and boosted it to 64 gb with a samsung memory chip for $32. Awesome storage capacity. Samsung let's you do this where other manufacturers tie you in to their memory products. Hope this helps.

Yes you can 32gb more with a mini sd card. Though don't expect to much from the memory. It doesn't mean you can have more apps. Just more pics and videos. - former owner

Standard RAM on this model is 16GB, if you want 32 you either have to get a "build to order" unit from the Apple store or add third party RAM (very easy to upgrade) yourself. Apple upgrade is $400 and $300-350 or so from aftermarket sellers.
