Post: Uh, why is the capacity so low?

Uh, why is the capacity so low? 

In Rumor mill coughs up $99 4GB iPhone

Thumb Down

I mean, it's not like flash memory is actually expensive these days. What difference does 4 or 8 or even 16 GB make?

I mean, you can get a 4GB SD card for a fiver, or 8GB for a tenner. Seems shameful to me to limit the capacity so much when it costs so little. But then I suppose they have to differentiate between the "premium" and budget products...

I'll buy one when it comes with a (micro) SDHC slot so it can be expanded. And a reasonably priced one year contract. And a pony.
