[nabs] iPod Touch

[Rebecca Bridges]

Joe et al,

I know that Apple would never recommend the use of an unlocked iPhone.  I'm not sure what it would mean for you if you did so in terms of the functionality of the device.  As far as the number of gigs go, I have a 16-gig iPhone and that works very well for me.  I don't keep all that much music on my iPhone so have plenty of room for apps.  Last, I checked, I was using maybe 3 gigs for apps, though I have installed a few more since then.  I don't believe the Iphone has expandable memory.  Olivia, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
